Key specifications and quick selection guide

When choosing timing belts and pulleys, match pitch, width and tooth profile to your application. Below is a compact spec sheet showing common options to help you compare quickly.

Compatibility tip: confirm the belt pitch and pulley tooth profile match your existing hardware. For general browsing, view our full collections: Shop by category or browse all mechanical parts at All Products.

Quick wiring and belt routing diagram (example)

A simple belt loop for a coreXY/Cartesian stage using two pulleys and one tensioner:

  Motor ----(Belt)---- Pulley
     |                     |
     |                     |
    Tensioner --------- Pulley

For stepper-driven stages, check pulley tooth count against motor steps to calculate linear resolution (see formulas below).

Basic calculations

Use these formulas to estimate motion resolution and belt speed:

• Linear travel per motor step = (Pulley circumference / teeth) * microsteps * step angle conversion
• Pulley circumference = pi * (pitch * teeth)
• Power/torque note: choose wider belts or higher tooth-count pulleys for higher torque loads.

If you need help with calculations for a lab build or production prototype, our product pages include datasheets and dimensional drawings; you can also request a quote for bulk items or non-stock sizes via our account services: About Communica.

Fit, finish and local service that keep assemblies moving
