Timing Belt Survey 3 December 2008
Outline • Belt Types • Polyurethane • Metal • Tension Measurement[2] • Sonic • Pencil
Belt Types • Polyurethane • Lighter, lower inertia • Deformation depends on load and speed • High precision under lower loads and speeds • Metal • Heavier, potential problem with tracking and sagging • Little to no deformation • High precision[4]
Polyurethane Belt • Self-tracking • BAT10 • Curved teeth • Equal power transmission • Reduced noise • SFAT10 • Displaced by ½ tooth • Reduced noise • Reduced polygonal effect
Metal Belt • Solid Bush Chain • High precision solid bushes • Longer wear (1.2-4X) • Sintered Bush Chain • High precision solid bushes • Longer wear (1.2-4X) • Infrequent lubrication[4]
Tension Measurement • Sonic type[3] • Transdev TSM4 • 7Hz to 400Hz • ±5% Accurate • $1000± • Gates 507C • 10Hz to 5000Hz • $800±
Tension Measurement • Pencil type • A14Z 6-740176 • 30 lb load limit • $16±
Recommendation • Shifted tooth polyurethane belt • Lighter weight • High precision at low relative speeds • Less backlash than regular belts • Pencil-type tension measurement • Much less expensive • Similar accuracy since the distance between pulleys is large
