The MXL timing belt with 83 teeth and a 1/8 inch width is a polyurethane belt reinforced with Kevlar cord, designed for synchronous power transmission. It has a pitch of 0.080 inches (2.03 mm) and a pitch length of 168.66 mm (6.64 inches). The belt is rated for continuous operation from -30°F to +185°F (-34°C to +85°C) and can withstand intermittent exposures up to +250°F (+121°C). Its breaking strength is 182 N per 1 mm of belt width, due to the Kevlar reinforcement. The belt is single-sided and suitable for use with MXL pitch pulleys. The part number format matches the series, but the exact code A 6B16-083012 is not listed; the closest match is A 6 B 16 083, which is available with Kevlar cord.
For power transmission applications, a belt and pulley drive system are one of the most common and cost-effective methods used to transfer motion in a drive system. synchronous timing belts, with their defined pattern and evenly spaced teeth, mate with matching timing belt pulleys and idlers to drive motion in precision equipment. When synchronization between shafts is not a priority, V- belts are an excellent alternative. V-belts ride in the groove of compatible V-belt pulleys and idlers. Flat belts find considerable usage in applications requiring small pulley diameters, high belt surface speeds, low noise levels, low weight, and inertia. Round belts or O-Rings are used with grooved pulleys. A cable drive system is another means of transmitting synchronous motion. Consisting of an extremely flexible cable and uniquely grooved pulleys, the Synchromesh Drive system offers design possibilities previously not achievable. Timing belt and cable accessories, belt tensioners and tension testers assist in the maintenance and operation of a belt drive system.
