HTD 5M timing pulley bar stock

5M timing pulley bar stock works with an HTD 5M belt with a 5 mm pitch. This is one of the most popular HTD profiles - it is used in packaging machines, axis drives and automation with medium loads.

HTD 5M timing pulley bar stock - low inertia with frequent acceleration

The bar allows you to build a pulley or roller with a width matched to the belt and the space in the machine, without waiting for a custom-made part. The low mass of aluminium limits drive inertia, which matters with frequent acceleration and braking of the axis. You can make several pulleys from one bar, so the cost per piece goes down.
