HTD Metric Timing Belt Clamp Size Chart
If you have ever tried to clamp a timing belt for a linear actuator, gantry, conveyor, or indexing system, you already know the pain: the belt looks right, the clamp almost fits… and then the belt creeps, frays, or slips under load.
That is exactly why our team at MDS of Michigan sells HTD metric timing belt end plate clamps and why they are so commonly paired with endless (continuous) belt stock that you cut to length. Instead of ordering a factory-made endless loop, many maintenance teams and builders keep rolls of open-ended HTD belting on hand so they can cut belts same-day, dial in the exact length they need, and avoid waiting on special-order loop belts. Custom belt lengths available upon request.
Once you cut the belt to length, the clamp becomes the “anchor point” that secures the belt end to a carriage, bracket, or mounting plate—helping you maintain tension, protect the belt teeth, and prevent the slip that turns a simple belt job into a repeat repair.

What is an HTD Timing Belt End Plate Clamp?
An end plate clamp (sometimes called a timing belt clamping plate or belt end clamp) is a rigid plate that secures the end of an HTD timing belt to a carriage, bracket, or mounting surface.
When the correct clamp is used, it helps you:
- Maintain consistent belt tension
- Reduce belt slip and tracking issues
- Improve positioning accuracy in motion systems
- Extend belt life by avoiding pinch damage or uneven load
In general, larger pitches and wider belts use taller clamps because they’re built for heavier loads.
