They are a special case of pulleys, in which teeth are built on their face.

they have the same teeth. They are used for high-speed applications.
Toothed Bands
They present a minimum elongation due to the gear effect with the pulley.
it presents slip, consequently the power is transmitted with a
constant angular velocity relationship.

It is recommended to use when loads from shocks and vibrations are minimal.
since this would mean that the teeth of the belt would be sheared.
Design of Synchronous Belts
Due to the presence of the notches, the resistance and capacity of
transmission is much lower than that of a V band of the same.

Types of Toothed Bands
Two types of standardized trapezoidal tooth profiles are distinguished.

according to the profile of the serrated band.
Usage Recommendations
Based on the profile size of the tire, manufacturers recommend
the operation of this in some established parameters, in
function of the type of profile used.
Applications
For applications where precision in the transmission ratio is required, combined
the requirements of high rotational speeds, or that for design considerations is not
possible the greasing or lubrication of the transmission components, then the
the use of timing belts or synchronous belts is the best option.

Assembly
The fixing of the pulleys to the trees is done by means of keys, or by means of the
denominating cube divided, in pulleys of several pieces, for pulleys of a single piece
The fixation occurs due to an indeterminate adjustment or interference.

Its elongation is minimal.
They do not exhibit slipping and, consequently, transmit power with a
constant relationship of angular velocity.
It can transmit medium to high loads.
Low noise.
They do not need lubrication.
Lower maintenance.
The rubber teeth absorb impacts during starts and/or stops.
Great synchronization in the march.
High performance: from 92 to 99%.
High power transmission density: they transmit high powers with a
compact size.

Selection Procedure
1. Gather the Following Information
2. Determination of Design Power
In the table of basic design factors, the factor of
design according to the type of application in which the pulley is located.
This value is multiplied by the number of HP of the propulsion unit.
For example:
Service Factor Table
Modification of the Service Factor
For a continuous operation of 24 hours, add .02 to the factor of
basic service.
If a jockey pulley is included, add .02 to the basic service factor.
For an intermittent or seasonal operation, reduce 0.2 from the factor.

Additional service factors are required for unusual conditions.
usual - such as load inversion, heavy load, electric brake.
For this, more precise analytical calculations must be performed.
Recommendations
It is preferable to always choose a transmission of greater capacity than the calculated one.

2. Remember that transmissions should not be used as a 'fuse', as for
There are specific mechanical and electrical devices.
3. Due to the fact that the toothed belts have a gentle lateral pressure, it is
It is necessary for at least one pole to have a tab, generally the smallest one (by

4. If the distance between centers is greater than 8 times the diameter of the smaller pulley, or
when the axes are not horizontal or the transmission has more than 2 pulleys,
All must have tabs.

3. Choose the Belt Step

close to the limit between two steps, consider
both options.
4. Establish the Speed Relationship
The "Speed Ratio" is obtained by dividing the higher RPMs.

5. Find a standard transmission
Between pages 12 and 33 of the catalog, depending on the distance between
dada centers (data in inches) and the step is the combination
of pulleys (with their commercial references) for the speed ratio
found in the previous point.
Example Pulley:30T, corresponds to a pulley with 30 teeth of
step L.
Thus, the reference to the email can also be found according to the
pulley combination and the distance between centers given.
Example Band: 187L, corresponds to a length band
