Materials and Characteristics of Commonly Used Belts and Pulleys
Common Belt Materials
Belts are typically made of rubber polymers, which may be reinforced with synthetic or organic fibers to enhance strength, or may contain other fillers to improve performance based on individual applications.
Common Pulley Materials and Their Characteristics
There is a wide range of material choices available today. Here are three commonly used pulley materials:
1. Aluminum
Aluminum is one of the most commonly used materials in timing belt pulley designs, primarily due to its durability and lightweight nature. This material also possesses good tensile strength, making it suitable for applications requiring high load-carrying capacity pulleys.
Aluminum is also corrosion-resistant; when exposed to moisture (or oxygen), it forms a thin oxide layer, preventing further oxidation and thus corrosion. This makes aluminum the ideal material for timing belt pulleys in environments prone to moisture.
2. Steel
Steel typically offers excellent strength and durability at a more affordable price compared to other materials (including aluminum). However, it's important to note that steel is heavier than aluminum (with a density approximately 2.5 times greater). Steel is also harder than aluminum and may not be pushed to the same extreme dimensional limits without cracking or deformation.
3. Plastic
Plastics combine the lightweight and corrosion-resistant advantages of aluminum with the cost-effectiveness of steel, making them well-suited for applications exposed to corrosive environments or conditions involving fluids, flammable gases, and solvents.
*Please choose HEADWAY timing belt pulleys based on your working environment and usage conditions.

Timing Belt Pulley and Belt Terminology and Parameters
Figure 2-1.1 shows a typical timing belt pulley and its related important parameters, which will be used to explain the following terms.
(1) Pitch
Pitch refers to the distance from the center of one tooth to the center of an adjacent tooth. It is measured on the pitch circle (or sprocket pitch circle). When specifying a belt and timing belt pulley drive system, it should be set to the same pitch to ensure proper engagement between the belt and the timing belt pulley.
(2) Pitch Circle
An imaginary circle formed by the centers of the teeth.

(3) Outside Diameter
The outermost surface of a timing pulley that directly contacts the bottom surface of the belt when they mesh. The diameter formed by this outermost surface is called the outside diameter and can be calculated using the following formula:
Outside Diameter = Pitch Diameter - (2 * U)
(4) Pitch Diameter
The pitch diameter is the diameter of the pitch circle.
(5) Pitch Point : The point where the pitch circles of two meshing gears are tangent.
U = (outside diameter - pitch diameter) distance from sprocket pitch circle to the outer surface of the timing belt pulley.
(6) Speed Ratio
As the name implies, the speed ratio is the ratio of the speed of the driven pulley (measured in revolutions per minute) to the speed of the driving pulley. It can also be calculated by dividing the number of teeth on the large pulley by the number of teeth on the small pulley, as shown in the diagram.To summarize the tooth profiles available for selection:
