What does HTD mean in belts?
What does HTD mean in belts?
A lot of people associate the acronym HTD with synchronous belts. While there is good reason for this, most take it a little too far, and believe that HTD refers to all synchronous belts. This is not the case. HTD stands for High Torque Drive, and calls out a specific tooth profile.
What is HTD pulley?
HTD Standard timing pulleys are the basic type of HTD pulleys. They are made of steel or gray cast iron and they are designed as unbored or with a pilot bore. The pulleys are supplied as a semi-finished product and the bore must be modified before mounting the pulleys on the shafts.
What does HTD stand for pulley?
Description: High Torque Drive (HTD) pulleys are types of synchronous pulleys.
How do I know what size timing belt to get?
What is the Timing Belt Length? Timing Belt Length = Number of Teeth! Do not measure the length of the belt with a cord, this is inaccurate! The surest method is to count the teeth.
How do you calculate timing belt and pulley?
To quickly calculate the Outside Diameter (O.D.) in inches of any 8mm pitch timing belt pulley divide the number of teeth on the pulley by ten (10). For example an 80 tooth pulley would have an 8” Outside Diameter (O.D.) (80 teeth / 10) or a 33 tooth pulley would have a 3.3” Outside Diameter (O.D.) (33 teeth / 10).
How do you know what size timing belt to get?
Specifications
- Length, Width, and Number of Teeth – For a given pitch, a selected number of teeth will determine the belt length.
- Pitch is the most important consideration when searching for metric pitch timing belts.
- Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) is the breaking strength or tension rating.
Is a timing belt more like a belt and pulley system or a sprocket and chain system?
A timing belt is more like a sprocket and chain system because they have teeth that engage with notches in the pulleys on the crank and camshaft.
