The MXL pitch timing belt is a 3/16-inch (4.76 mm) wide, single-sided urethane belt with Kevlar cord reinforcement, featuring 245 teeth and a pitch of 0.080 inch (2.03 mm). The belt has a breaking strength of 182 N per 1 mm of belt width, corresponding to 8,820 N total for this width and tooth count, as specified for Kevlar-reinforced belts with 155 or more grooves. It operates continuously from -34°C to +85°C and intermittently up to +121°C. Belt dimensions follow the A 6 B 16 format, with catalog number 245 indicating the pitch length and tooth count. All MXL belts in this series are manufactured with polyurethane bodies and balanced construction, and are available in inch and metric configurations.
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.
