A 6R 6-180 timing belt is a 1/8 inch wide, single-sided polyurethane belt reinforced with polyester cord, designed for synchronous power transmission with a 40 D.P. (2.07 mm) pitch and 180 teeth. It has a pitch length of 15.504 inches (393.8 mm) and operates within a temperature range of 0°F to +150°F (-18°C to +66°C). The belt's breaking strength is 40 lbf per 1/8 inch of width for belts with fewer than 151 grooves, and 80 lbf per 1/8 inch for 151 or more grooves, though this value is not indicative of load-carrying capacity. The physical dimensions and performance characteristics conform to the inch metric standard as specified.
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.
