Metric Posi-Drive sprockets for Twin Core belts are made from 303 stainless steel or 2024-T4 aluminum, with 4 mm or 6 mm bore sizes. For a 6 mm bore, the sprocket has a bore diameter of 5.994 mm, overall diameter of 12.7 mm, thickness of 3.1 mm, and length of 11 mm, and uses an M3 set screw. An 18-tooth sprocket has a pitch diameter of 22.9 mm and an outside diameter of 24.4 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.
