PU timing belt T5 340 - Megadyne Megapower

PU timing belt T5 340 – timing belt for synchronous power transmission

PU timing belt T5 340 - Megadyne Megapower is a Megadyne Megapower timing belt in polyurethane. It has a T5 profile, 340 mm pitch length and 68 teeth, and is intended for belt drives where the belt and timing belt pulley must follow each other without slip.

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

With 68 teeth and 5.0 mm pitch, the pitch length of 340 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.

Polyurethane and steel cord

The construction consists of polyurethane and zinc-coated steel cord. The polyurethane forms the teeth and spine, while the steel cord contributes to low elongation and stable pitch length.

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.

Operation with timing belt pulleys

The synchronous function comes from the tooth shape. When the belt and timing pulley fit together, the movement is maintained mechanically instead of relying on friction alone.

The standard widths for this belt are stated in the technical data. The width does not change the tooth pitch, but is part of the overall dimensions of the belt in the drive.

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
