PU timing belt T5 330 - Megadyne Megapower

PU timing belt T5 330 – polyurethane timing belt with steel cord

PU timing belt T5 330 - Megadyne Megapower is an endless PU timing belt for synchronous belt drives. The profile is T5, the pitch length is 330 mm, and the belt has 66 teeth. The teeth work together with a timing belt pulley in the same profile, so that power and movement are transmitted precisely.

The most important measurements for the belt are profile, pitch length, tooth pitch, number of teeth and width. When these measurements match the timing belt pulley, the belt will have a clean tooth mesh and a stable operation in the drive.

Technical data for this Megapower timing belt

Here are the fixed dimensions and technical information for PU timing belt T5 330 - Megadyne Megapower: profile, pitch length, tooth pitch, number of teeth, material and standard widths.

With 66 teeth and 5.0 mm pitch, the pitch length of 330 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

With a 5 mm tooth pitch, T5 lies between the very small profiles and the larger T10 belts. This provides a practical profile for many synchronous technical drives.

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.

Function in the belt drive

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.

Frequently asked questions about the product

What does T5 mean?

T5 means that the belt has a metric T-profile with 5 mm tooth pitch.
