The MXL pitch timing belt is a 3/16-inch wide, single-sided polyurethane belt with Kevlar cord reinforcement, designed for precise power transmission. It has 118 grooves, a pitch of 0.080 inches (2.03 mm), and a pitch length of 9.44 inches (239.77 mm). The belt operates continuously from -30°F to +185°F (-34°C to +85°C) and can withstand intermittent temperatures up to +250°F (+121°C). Breaking strength is 130 lbf per 1/8 inch of belt width for Kevlar-reinforced belts with 155 or more grooves. Special widths are available cut from sleeves, and compatible pulleys support both inch and metric standards.
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.
