Timing pulley L050 z=31 for 1/2" (12.7 mm) belt, C45 steel, pilot bore

Product Description

Timing pulley L050 z=31 for 1/2" (12.7 mm) belt, C45 steel, pilot bore is a timing (synchronous) pulley for belts with the imperial L profile: pitch 3/8" (9.525 mm), 31 teeth, belt width up to 1/2" (12.7 mm). It is made of C45 steel.

The pitch diameter is 93.99 mm and the outside diameter 93.23 mm. The pulley has a hub with a pilot bore, which is bored out to the shaft size and completed with a keyway or a set screw hole.

Frequently asked questions

Which timing pulley has the L050 profile, 31 teeth and a pitch diameter of 93.99 mm?

This is the timing pulley L050 z=31 for 1/2" (12.7 mm) belt, C45 steel, pilot bore. The outside diameter (over the tooth tips) is 93.23 mm. The pitch diameter is calculated as Dp = pitch × z / π = 9.525 × 31 / π.

Which timing belt fits this pulley?

A belt with the imperial L profile (pitch 3/8" = 9.525 mm) and a width of up to 1/2" (12.7 mm) - in the belt designation the width 1/2" is written as 050 (e.g. belt 300L050, where 300 is the belt length in tenths of an inch). A narrower belt of the same profile will also run correctly.

Does this pulley work with a metric T10 or HTD belt?

No. The L profile has an imperial pitch of 9.525 mm and a trapezoidal tooth shape, so it does not mesh correctly with metric belts (T, AT) or with HTD belts with rounded teeth. The pulley and the belt must have the same profile.

How do I prepare the bore for the shaft?

The pilot bore is bored out on a lathe to the shaft size (usually to tolerance H7) and a keyway is cut to DIN 6885. The pulley is secured axially with a set screw in the hub. The maximum bore depends on the hub diameter - enough wall thickness must remain after machining.

How do I calculate the ratio of a drive with this pulley?

The ratio is the number of teeth of the driven pulley divided by the number of teeth of the driving pulley, e.g. 31 / 18 = 1.72. A timing belt drive has no slip, so the ratio is constant.

What does the lead time depend on?

When ordering, please check the current stock level of this pulley - the lead time depends on it and is clearly stated according to the quantity available in each warehouse. The stock level is shown above the product price and may differ between warehouses.
