  • How to Specify Pulleys for Synchronous Belt Drives
    When designing a belt drive system, the first step is to choose the most suitable belt for the application. But the pulleys also play an important role in the performance of the belt - especially in synchronous belt drive systems, where proper meshing of the belt teeth with the pulley grooves can
  • Timing Pulleys: Comparing Nylon and Aluminum (Article Reprint)
    In any application where there is a drive, driven or idler pulley, engineers and designers need to consider the properties of the materials used in timing pulley construction before committing to a final design. Nylon and aluminum are the two most common construction materials for timing pulleys
  • Mounting Sprockets and Pulleys on Pilot Style Clutches - Considerations & Guidelines (.pdf)
    Clutches are commonly connected to a drive system through roller chains and belting. This requires that a sprocket or pulley be mounted directly to the clutch. A pilot style clutch is made for this purpose; providing a projection onto which the sprocket or pulley will seat and a series of tapped
  • Steps to Designing a Miniature Belt and Pulley Drive System
    Today 's timing belts are reinforced with various tensile cords, such as polyester, fiberglass or aramid, making them stronger than ever.
  • Belts and Pulleys Glossary
    of a larger circle. A cycloidal drive replaces conventional gears with an eccentric internal cam which takes a cycloidal path inside a fixed housing; the result is a reduction in speed. Denier: A measure of weight of a reinforcing cord equal to grams per 9000 meters Durometer: A common measure
  • What is Ratcheting in Synchronous Belt Drives?
    Proper tension of synchronous belts is the tension at which the belt will transmit the required power without ratcheting when the drive system experiences full load. Synchronous belts (also referred to as toothed, cogged, timing, or high torque belts) use profiled teeth that mesh with a pulley

    and the material on the belt forward. The powered pulley is called the drive pulley while the unpowered pulley is called the idler pulley. See figure 1 below.
  • Why Does a Two-Pulley System Result in a Better Performance?
    Two common types of blowers are belt-driven and direct drive. Direct Drive blowers connect the blower head directly to the motor, and the motor "directly drives" the blower. Out of necessity, the blower and the motor rotate at the same speed. In a belt-driven system, on the other hand, the motor
