PU timing belt T5 1440 - Megadyne Megapower

PU timing belt T5 1440 – Megadyne Megapower PU timing belt

PU timing belt T5 1440 - Megadyne Megapower is a cast endless PU timing belt from Megadyne Megapower. The belt has a T5 profile, 1440 mm pitch length and 288 teeth. It is made for synchronous power transmission, where the teeth engage with the timing belt pulley and hold the movement between the shafts.

The pitch length is the length of the belt measured along the pitch line. Together with the tooth pitch and the number of teeth, it describes the synchronous dimensions of the belt in the drive.

With 288 teeth and 5.0 mm pitch, the pitch length of 1440 mm matches the belt's synchronous dimensions. The pitch length describes the belt's turn along the pitch line and is the length used in conjunction with the pitch and number of teeth.

The width tolerance is +/- 0.50 mm, the thickness tolerance is +/- 0.15 mm, and the sleeve width tolerance is +/- 10 mm. The working temperature for standard Megapower is -25 °C to +80 °C.

T5 profile and tooth pitch

The T5 profile has a 5 mm tooth pitch and is a common metric T profile. It is used in synchronous belt drives where a compact PU timing belt with precise tooth engagement is desired.

T5 is a T-profile and should be kept separate from other profiles with the same pitch. A T5 belt should run in timing belt pulleys where the tooth shape matches this particular profile.

Material and construction

The Megapower belt is made of polyurethane with steel cord inside the belt. The steel cord is the tensile element and helps to limit unwanted elongation.

The molded endless design provides a continuous belt without joints. This is an important difference compared to open or joined belts because the belt is made as one closed length from the start.

The standard version is thermoset polyurethane, standard 88 ShA with zinc-coated steel cord. The steel cord is located inside the belt and helps to keep the pitch length stable when the belt is operating in a synchronous drive.

Synchronous power transmission

The force is transmitted through the timing mesh. Therefore, the belt must be used with timing belt pulleys of the same profile and with a belt width that is suitable for the load and structure of the drive.

The width is part of the overall dimensions of the belt. A narrower and a wider belt in the same profile can have the same pitch length and number of teeth, but they must match the actual belt routing.

For this T5 belt, the standard widths are 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 25 mm. The width does not change the tooth profile, but it must fit the timing belt pulley, pulleybase and the space the belt has in the machine.
