Standard Carbon Steel Pitch 10mm T10 Timming Belt Pulley

Pulleys are one of the most common pieces of equipment found in applications around the workplace and in the home. Both your hotel elevator and sewing machine utilize various pulleys to complete necessary functions. Due to the assortment of needs, multiple pulley variations have been created and manufactured according to each application.

Timing belt pulleys are one of the most popular pulleys on the market, known for the unique ability to prevent misalignment and maintain accurate timing during operation.

WHAT IS A TIMING BELT PULLEY?

A timing belt pulley is a specialized pulley system with teeth or pockets along the outside of the pulley body’s diameter. Like traditional pulley systems, timing belt pulleys are driven by frictional forces between the belt and pulley surfaces. The teeth or pockets on the outside of the pulley are not used for power transmission. Rather, they engage the pulley belt, assisting with timing and averting misalignment.

TIMING BELT PULLEYS

Prized for their reliability, these pulleys are known for minimal operation issues and strictly maintained system timing. Furthermore, unlike many pulleys, belts and gears do not come in direct surface-to-surface contact, eliminating the need for constant lubrication. Finally, Timing Belt Pulleys drastically reduce operation noise as opposed to chains or gears.

STEEL TIMING BELT PULLEYS

Widely available, steel is also commonly utilized. Known for constancy in harsh environments, steel remains solid over time. Like aluminum, steel’s high tensile strength allows for heavy load capacity. Finally, steel remains stable within temperature sensitive environments, including intense heat or cold.
