BELT DIMENSIONS
PULLEYS
The three principal dimensions of a pulley are:
number of grooves pitch width
and are used in this order as a designation e.g. 72-8M-50.
(flange diameter will
be greater) On the pulley, pitch is the distance between groove centres and is measured on
the pulley pitch circle.
The pitch circle of the pulley coincides with the pitch line of the belt running in it.
The pulley pitch diameter is always greater than its outer diameter.
Torque Drive PLUS 3 belts run with standard Fenner Taper Lock HTD pulleys.
Standard pulley dimensions are listed in the tables on pages 104-106.

synchronous belt drives Section : 4
PULLEY ALIGNMENT
Misalignment of drive pulleys results in unequal tension across the belt width and
extreme edge wear. Pulley alignment should be proved using a straight-edge or
laser device, and shafts checked for parallelism.
Misalignment on any synchronous drive should not exceed 1/4O angular or 5mm/
metre centre distance parallel.
TORQUE DRIVE PLUS 3 & HTD DRIVES Drive support frameworks must be rigid to avoid flexure causing shaft
(Deflection – d 20mm/metre span length - S) misalignment under drive forces.
Calculate the force F from the formulae below. Flexure can result in tooth jumping during high torque starts, particularly if
misalignment is present.
