How do you pick a timing belt and pulley?
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 calculate pulley timing on teeth?
To quickly calculate the Outside Diameter (O.D.) in inches of any 8mm pitch timing belt pulley divide the number of teeth on the pulley by ten (10). For example an 80 tooth pulley would have an 8” Outside Diameter (O.D.) (80 teeth / 10) or a 33 tooth pulley would have a 3.3” Outside Diameter (O.D.) (33 teeth / 10).
What is HTD timing pulley?
HTD Taper Lock timing pulleys are the basic type of pulleys for HTD. Because of its tooth height and semi-circular tooth geometry, the HTD profile is especially good at avoiding jump-over of the teeth in operation. The HTD profile is extremely suitable for transmitting high torques.
How do I choose a pulley?
In general, however, there are three main considerations when selecting the right pulley for your project: Size….Types of Pulleys Available
- Timing.
- Multi-V.
- Variable Speed.
- V-Belt/Round Belt.
What does GT2 belt mean?
GT2 timing belts are intended for lower load applications such as the first reduction in a gearbox, or motor to flywheel. GT2 belts use a smaller pitch than HTD belts, which means you can use larger reductions in those tight fit areas of your robot.
What is MXL timing belt?
The Gates MXL timing belts are designed to be synchronous with its matching belt pulley often used in computer printers with hard drives. Some are used in heavy-duty machinery such as oil pumps. These are the classical trapezoidal tooth profile that ensures a no-slip no-creep operation.
How do you increase the RPM of a pulley system?
To Decrease RPM, choose Initial Bottom pulley and work up. To Increase RPM select Initial Top pulley and work down. Drag the Rotate slider to animate the diagram and see the actual RPM reduction through all the pulley sets. To Decrease RPM, choose Initial Bottom pulley and work up.

What is a 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.
