eWeLink Smart Curtain Drive Ribbon (Replacement Belt) -- 2m / 3m / 5m / 7m

Replacement toothed drive belt for the eWeLink / Smart Life motorised curtain rail system. The ribbon runs along the inside of the aluminium rail and is what the curtain motor grips to pull the carriers open and closed. Order it to re-belt a worn or snapped rail, to re-fit a rail you have shortened or extended, or to build up a rail from parts. Choose the size that matches your rail length.

Key Features

  • Genuine Fit -- same tooth pitch and width as the belt supplied with our eWeLink and Smart Life motorised curtain sets; drops straight into the rail and motor drive wheel
  • Pre-cut Lengths -- sized for 2m, 3m, 5m and 7m rails so you do not have to measure and cut; for other lengths use the per-metre ribbon
  • Reinforced Toothed Belt -- fibre-reinforced for low stretch, so curtain positioning in the app stays accurate after calibration
  • Quiet Running -- smooth tooth profile keeps the motor quiet and prevents the skipping that a stretched belt causes
  • Belt Only -- no tools needed beyond a screwdriver to release the rail end caps and carrier clamp
Belt only. This listing is for the drive ribbon alone. The rail, motor, carriers, rollers and brackets are not included. If you are replacing a whole rail, see the complete curtain sets below.

When Do You Need a New Ribbon?

🔧

Worn or Snapped Belt

Teeth stripped near the motor end, fraying, or a belt that has snapped at the clamp. The motor runs but the curtain does not move, or moves with a clicking sound.

📐

Rail Cut to Size

If you have shortened a rail to fit a window, the original belt is now too long. Fit a fresh belt of the right size for clean, even tension.

↔️

Rail Extended or Joined

Joined two rails or added a corner connector for a bay window? A single longer belt runs smoother than a spliced one.

📍

Drifting Positions

If the curtain stops short of fully open or closed after calibration, a stretched belt is the usual cause. Replace it and recalibrate in the app.

Fitting tip: Release both end caps, unclip the belt from the master carrier, and pull the old belt out through the motor end. Feed the new belt in over the motor drive wheel first, then around the idler pulley at the far end, and clip both ends into the master carrier. Run a calibration cycle in the eWeLink or Smart Life app before hanging the curtains.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which size do I need?
Pick the size that matches the length of your rail: a 3m rail takes the 3m ribbon. If your rail is a non-standard length (for example a rail you have cut down, or two rails joined), use the per-metre ribbon and cut to fit.
Does it fit the Smart Life (Tuya) curtain set as well?
Yes. The eWeLink and Smart Life motorised curtain sets we sell use the same rail and belt profile. Only the motor firmware and app differ.
Will I need to recalibrate after replacing the belt?
Yes. Run the open/close calibration in the eWeLink or Smart Life app after fitting the new belt so the motor learns the new end positions.
The motor hums but the curtain does not move. Is it the belt?
Usually. Check the belt teeth at the motor end for wear and check that the belt is still clipped into the master carrier. If the belt is intact and seated, the drive wheel or motor may be at fault; call us and we will help you diagnose it.
Does it come with the rail or motor?
No. This is the belt only. For a rail with motor, see the complete curtain sets above; for the motor on its own, see the curtain motor listing.
