A 6B16-060012 is an MXL pitch timing belt with 60 teeth, 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) width, and Kevlar reinforcement, designed for synchronous power transmission. The belt has a polyurethane body and is rated for continuous operation from -30°F to +185°F (-34°C to +85°C), with intermittent capability up to +250°F (+121°C). Its breaking strength is 112 N per 1 mm of belt width due to the Kevlar cord and 60 grooves, which is below the 155-groove threshold. The belt pitches at 0.080 inch (2.03 mm) and matches MXL pulleys. No physical dimensions beyond width and pitch are provided. Kevlar-reinforced belts are not available for grooves over 155, but this part has 60 grooves. The ordering code appears to extend the catalog number format A 6 (G,B) 16 (-,M) - X, where B indicates Kevlar, 16 indicates 1/8 inch width, and 060 indicates 60 teeth.
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.
