Timing pulleys

How do timing pulleys work?

Timing pulleys are grooved wheels which are used in conjunction with timing belts to transmit power and torque across an application.

How do timing pulleys work?

The grooves in the pulley interlock with the teeth of the timing belt to avoid slippage. The tension of the belt, combined with the friction of the meshed grooves and teeth cause the pulley and shaft to rotate together.

Where are timing pulleys used?

Every application which uses a timing belt will also need timing pulleys. These pulleys are commonly found in vehicles, printers and manufacturing equipment.
