How to Design a Timing Belt
- Determine the peak torque for your drive.
- Determine the largest pulley diameters that can be utilised, considering the space limitations and drive ratio of your system.
- Select the belt tooth profile (contact us for advice if required).
- Calculate the teeth in mesh (T.I.M.)
How do you create a pulley?
Design Rules of Thumb: When designing a pulley, I start with the running diameter which is the surface that the chain wraps around. The recommendation is 5x pitch of the chain, so if you had a ¾” (19.05mm) pitch chain, then the running diameter of the pulley should be 95.25mm (5 x 19.05mm).
What is GT2 pulley?
The GT2 series of belts and pulleys are designed specifically for linear motion. They use a rounded tooth profile that guarantees that the belt tooth fits smoothly and accurately in the pulley groove, so when you reverse the pulley direction, there is no room for the belt to move in the groove.
How do you make a timing belt in Solidworks?
To create a belt/chain assembly feature:
- Click Belt/Chain (Assembly toolbar) or Insert > Assembly Feature > Belt/Chain.
- Specify the PropertyManager options.
- Click . In the FeatureManager design tree, the following appear: A Belt feature. The belt length appears next to the feature.
How do belt pulleys work?
The device helps in power transmission using a cable or belt. In a belt and pulley system, a belt runs along a pulley’s groove so that the power can be transfer either from one pulley to another or from the pulley directly to the application that requires power.
What is GT belt?
The PowerGrip GT2 Belt Drive System is an advance in product design over the Gates’ older, standard HTD system, providing higher torque carrying capability and improved load carrying strength. The PowerGrip GT3 Belt Drive System is the newest design and offers additional benefits over GT2.
