The part is an MXL pitch timing belt, 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) wide, with Kevlar cord and 185 teeth, designed for synchronous motion transmission. It has a pitch of 0.080 inch (2.03 mm). Breaking strength for Kevlar-reinforced belts with 185 grooves is 130 lbf per 1/8 inch of belt width (182 N per 1 mm). The belt operates continuously from -30°F to +185°F (-34°C to +85°C) and intermittently up to +250°F (+121°C). It is constructed with a polyurethane body and is available in single-sided configuration. The exact part number A 6B16-185018 is not listed, but the series A 6B16- includes this configuration with Kevlar cord and 185 grooves as specified in the catalog. The belt is available in inch dimensions and is not available in metric for this tooth count.
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.
