PU timing belt AT10 1600 - Megadyne Megapower

PU timing belt AT10 1600 – endless PU timing belt in AT10 profile

PU timing belt AT10 1600 - Megadyne Megapower is a polyurethane timing belt in the Megadyne Megapower series. It has an AT10 profile with 10 mm tooth pitch, 1600 mm pitch length and 160 teeth. The belt is used in synchronous belt drives, where the tooth engagement must transfer the movement without slip.

In a timing belt drive, it is the teeth that carry the synchronous movement. Therefore, profile, pitch and number of teeth are more relevant than external dimensions alone.

With 160 teeth and 10.0 mm pitch, the pitch length of 1600 mm fits the synchronous belt dimensions. The pitch length describes the turn of the belt 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 +/- 0.30 mm, and the sleeve width tolerance is +/- 10 mm. The working temperature for standard Megapower is -25 °C to +80 °C.

AT10 profile and tooth pitch

AT10 is an AT profile with a 10 mm pitch. The tooth shape must match the AT10 timing belt pulley to provide correct and quiet tooth engagement.

AT10 is an AT profile and should be kept separate from other profiles with the same pitch. An AT10 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.

Synchronous power transmission

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 AT10 belt, the standard widths are 10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 32, 50 and 75 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.
