Timing Pulley

Re: Timing Pulley

Yeh maybe, I was using the 2.5m pitch belt, but that was for my BW, such a small belt seemed fitting.
Using T5x10mm in BitzaWood, should be enough.

Re: Timing Pulley

T2.5 are really small belts, fine for small servo controlled camera mounts, motorised telescopes and the like. If space is limited and but you want a higher rated belt, go for the 'AT' type rather than the 'T' type. You would need the matching 'AT' pulleys though as the teeth are a different profile. I have the advantage of having all the belts to hand and you get a gut feeling of what would be man enough for a job - sod the science and mathematics.

Re: Timing Pulley

Haven't seen AT type belts or pulleys on T-bots.

The length of the pulleys is my issue, I could get a wider belt, but the boss would have to be shorter. Or it would have to be a pulley without a boss.

They are all in the same area, http://www.technobotsonline.com/pull...ing-belts.html

MFA T5 belts are heavier duty than the Synchroflex T5 belts. AT5 belts can transmit something like 3 times as much power as a T5 belt and the pulleys are the same length.

Choosing the right pulley / belt combination for an application saves wasted effort and money. We frequently have to take it on the chin when we get complaints from customers such as why we cannot bore out a 12mm hole in a pulley with 10mm dia boss.

PJ, What you are told may not always be correct - Plus I was advised that T-bots belts are crap as you may well find their selection of parts was not appropriate for their application. We sell plenty of pulleys and belts and get very few complaints.
