The pulley diameter should never be smaller than the width of the belt.For other pitches, Table 8, should be used. For MXL pitch belts, the smallest recommended pulley will have 10 teeth.Belts should be rated at only 1/15th of their respective ultimate strength. Use of overload service factors is important. Drives should always be designed with ample reserve horsepower capacity.Our engineering staff is available to assist you in selecting the best components for your drive system. SDP/SI offers chain and belt tensioning products, as well as tension monitoring tools. To complete your drive system both plastic sprockets and metal sprockets designed to work with the chain are available.Ĭorrect operating tension is an important factor in the satisfactory performance and life of a drive system. SDP/SI offers a wide selection of inch and metric dimensioned roller chain and ladder chain.
#TIMING BELTS AND PULLEYS INSTALL#
Ladder chain is inexpensive and easy to install and can be found in many household appliances, vending machines and various timing and electrical devices. Ladder chain links interlock and are fabricated from wire. A properly lubricated chain can last more than 100 times as long as the same chain with poor lubrication.

SDP/SI carries a large inventory of single and double-sided timing belts in standard inch and metric widths. Modifications, custom components or custom drive systems can be designed, engineered, manufactured, and assembled in-house.

Sometimes, there are applications where the standard catalog item doesn't meet all your apllication's requirements. Our engineers can assist in the selection of a standard catalog item to meet your need. SDP/SI offers a broad range of off-the-shelf inch and metric timing belts, timing belt pulleys, chains, and sprockets timing pulleys in aluminum, steel or plastic with or without metal inserts, metal hubs, set screws or Fairloc® hubs.įor over 70 years we have helped design engineers build synchronous drive systems. components in more advantageous locations at larger distances without paying a price penalty. Synchronous drives can be divided into 3 categories:īelt drives are particularly useful in applications where layout flexibility is important. SDP/SI supplies hobbyists, students, distributors and a wide variety of OEMs with high-quality machined timing belt pulleys, molded pulleys, timing belts, sprockets, and chains at affordable prices. However, chain drives are often used where positive synchronization between shafts and transmission of substantial torque is required. The positive nature of these drives makes them capable of transmitting large torques and withstand large accelerations. Due to this design, they do not slip and there is no relative motion between the two elements in mesh. Synchronous drives employ the positive engagement of two sets of meshing teeth.
