PU timing belt T5 840 - Megadyne Megapower

PU timing belt T5 840 – Megadyne Megapower PU timing belt

PU timing belt T5 840 - Megadyne Megapower is a cast endless PU timing belt from Megadyne Megapower. The belt has a T5 profile, 840 mm pitch length and 168 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 belt is a technical spare part where the fixed dimensions must match the drive. This applies in particular to the tooth profile, pitch length, number of teeth and the width used on the machine.

Technical data for this Megapower timing belt

Here are the fixed dimensions and technical information for PU timing belt T5 840 - Megadyne Megapower: profile, pitch length, tooth pitch, number of teeth, material and standard widths.

With 168 teeth and 5.0 mm pitch, the pitch length of 840 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.

Molded endless construction

The belt material is polyurethane and the standard reinforcement is zinc-coated steel cord. This provides a dimensionally stable PU timing belt for synchronous drives where the length must be kept uniform.

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 timing belt transmits power by the teeth engaging the timing belt pulley. In a correctly constructed belt drive, this provides synchronous operation because the belt follows the rotation of the timing belt pulley without working as a friction belt.

The belt can be supplied in the standard widths listed in the technical data. The tooth profile and pitch length are the same, while the width follows the selected belt guide.

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 pitch length mean?

The pitch length is the length of the belt measured along the pitch line. For this belt, the pitch length is 840 mm.

What does T5 mean?

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

Which timing pulley should the belt be used with?

The belt must be used with timing belt pulleys in T5 profile and with a width that matches the drive.

How many teeth does the belt have?

This Megadyne Megapower PU timing belt has 168 teeth.

Brief summary

PU timing belt T5 840 - Megadyne Megapower is a cast endless PU timing belt in T5 profile with 840 mm pitch length and 168 teeth. The belt is made of polyurethane with zinc-coated steel cord and is used for synchronous power transmission together with timing belt pulleys in the same profile.
