Timing Belt Selection Guide
Hello Everyone....!!!
First we will talk about Tooth Pitch Comparison, later on Belt Selection Guide.
Tooth Pitch Comparison
Imperial Pitch Belts - XL, L, H, XH
This classic trapezoidal pitch is the original timing belt tooth design. This tooth pitch is commonly used for conveying applications. The tooth profile is fairly low and has a large surface area at the tip of the tooth providing good support on sliding conveyor surfaces.
T Pitch Belts - T2.5, T5, T10, T20
These metric trapezoidal pitches are similar to imperial pitches, also commonly used for conveying applications, yet have a slightly deeper tooth engagement than imperial profiles. The tooth meshing is more reliable. However, backlash can be slightly greater.
AT Pitch Belts - AT5, AT10, AT20
This pitch was developed to enable higher load carrying capacity combined with low backlash. The stronger and stiffer tooth makes these belts ideal for linear positioning and motion control, but may require larger pulley diameters.
HTD Pitch Belts - HTD5, HTD8, HTD14
This rounded tooth pitch is similar to STD, and is also an excellent profile for linear and rotary positioning and power transmission applications, yet has deeper tooth engagement. Note that the HTD pitch may exhibit slight increases in noise and wear.
STD Pitch Belts - STD5, STD8
This tooth pitch provides superior load distribution, low backlash, and reduced wear and noise characteristics. It is an excellent profile for linear positioning and power transmission applications.
