Re: Brecoflex Belt Versions
Great choice on the ATK10's. According to the engineer at Brecoflex, they have more than twice the tensile strength than the TK10's for only $20 more.

Personally I am going with the ATK10's and probably the Linatrile backing for my application. The Linatex has a higher coeffecient of friction but a lower durometer (hardness) than the linatrile, which is just perfect for the FIRST carpet. The robot im designing will also have to navigate surfaces like asphalt that might chew up the linatex so I am gunna compromise a little friction for some durability.

FYI: They are quoting the lead times to be about 2 weeks for the belts.
