PU Timing Belt

The profile systems T and AT are made of polyurethane with high-tension fine steel cord tension members in most cases;

For PU timing belts with different tensile cords, i.e. aramid or rubber belts reinforced with glass fiber, the values can be different.

Description

Mingsen PU Timing belts of the profile systems T and AT are made of polyurethane with high-tension fine steel cord tension members in most cases. As far as certain forces are given in this document, these values are only valid for these kinds of belts. For polyurethane belts with different tensile cords, i.e. aramid or rubber belts reinforced with glass fibre, the values can be different.

Open belts made of thermoplastic polyurethane can be spliced to work as endless belts in conveyor applications. In this case, the tolerances are not valid for the splicing area of the endless spliced belt.

Belt profile systems

Eight belt profiles for synchronous drives are standardized:

Profile system T:  profile T2,5 profile T5, profile T10,  profile T20 ;

Profile system AT:  profile AT3, profile AT5, profile AT10, profile AT20

Belt tooth dimensions and tolerances

The nominal belt tooth dimensions are the same for single-sided and double-sided belts; they are given in Table 1 and shown in Figure 1

Belt nomenclature

belt is designated by a combination of numbers and letters as follows:

  1. a) the width, in millimetres;
  2. b) the profile system;
  3. c) the pitch, in millimetres;
  4. d) the belt pitch length, in millimetres (and add the number of teeth in brackets, if required);
  5. e) double-sided belts are designated by adding DG or DT before the profile system letter: DG if the tooth position is opposite Gap; DT if the tooth position is opposite Tooth;
  6. f) open belts are designated by adding the letter “M” behind the length; for spliced belts, use the letter “V.”

EXAMPLE 1.

A metric synchronous belt of 10 mm pitch, profile system T, 50 mm wide, and 1 400 mm in pitch length is designated as follows:

for a single-sided belt: 50- T10- 1 400;

for a double-sided belt: 50- DG- T10- 1 400 or 50- DT-T10- 1 400.

 

EXAMPLE2 A metric synchronous belt of 5 mm pitch, profile system AT, 25 mm wide, and 500 mm in pitch

length (number of teeth = 100) is designated as follows:

for a single-sided belt: 25 – AT5 – 500 (100 t);

for the double-sided belt: 25 – DG – AT5 – 500 (100 t) or 25 -DT- AT5 – 500 (100 t).
