Timing belt pulley PolyChain GT PC 14M 125 z=44 Steel

Product Description

Timing belt pulley PolyChain GT PC 14M 125 z=44 Steel - for HTD 14M / PolyChain GT belts with a pitch of 14 mm (HTD). Made of C45 steel with a profile optimised for Gates PolyChain GT polyurethane belts.

The pilot bore allows the pulley to be bored precisely to the shaft size and the fit required by the machine, to H7 tolerance. The keyway is cut on a slotting machine according to DIN 6885.

The pulley performs well wherever precise motion synchronisation is required: heavy industrial drives, presses, agricultural and construction machinery.

FAQ

Can I use an HTD 8M belt on a PolyChain GT pulley?

We do not recommend it. The tooth profile of a PolyChain pulley differs from that of a conventional HTD pulley - the belt will fit on the pulley but will not sit optimally in the teeth, which will shorten its service life and may lead to tooth skipping under load.

What is a pilot bore and how is it rebored?

A pilot bore is a technological bore smaller than the target shaft diameter - a turner rebores it precisely to the specific shaft, to H7 tolerance. The keyway is cut on a slotting machine according to DIN 6885.

How do you align pulleys correctly?

The grooves of both pulleys must lie in one plane. Check this with a straightedge or a laser alignment tool. Even a slight lateral misalignment causes rapid wear of the belt's side edges.

How do you choose a pulley for a toothed belt?

The key is matching the series (14M = 14 mm pitch (HTD)) and the belt width (125 mm). The drive ratio is calculated by dividing the number of teeth of the driven pulley by the number of teeth of the driving pulley.
