A 6G 3M172080 is a 5.08 mm (XL) pitch synchronous timing belt, 8 mm wide, with a polyester cord, designed for power transmission. The belt has 172 teeth and is constructed from polyurethane with a balanced polyester cord. Its continuous operating temperature range is -18°C to +82°C, with intermittent capacity up to +121°C. The breaking strength for polyester cord belts is 112 N per 1 mm of belt width, yielding a nominal breaking strength of 896 N for the 8 mm width. The belt is single-sided and compatible with metric pulleys. Dimensions and tooth count align with the listed 172 tooth metric catalog entry in the series.
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.
