A 6B 6-185012 is a 40 D.P. (2.07 mm pitch) timing belt with 185 teeth and a 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) width, constructed with a polyurethane body and Kevlar cord reinforcement. It is designed for synchronous motion transmission in precision applications. The belt has a breaking strength of 130 lbf per 1/8 inch of width for belts with 151 or more grooves, and operates continuously between -18°C and +82°C, with intermittent exposure allowable up to +121°C. The part is available in standard inch dimensions and is cut from sleeves. Its physical size corresponds exactly to the catalog entry 185, which specifies a pitch length of 15.096 inches (383.44 mm).
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.
