This classic trapezoidal pitch is the original timing belt tooth design. This tooth pitchis commonly used for conveying applications . The tooth profile is fairly low and has a large surface area at the tip of the tooth providing good support on sliding conveyor surfaces. > These metric trapezoidal pitches are similar to imperial pitches, also commonly used for conveying applications , yet have a slightly deeper tooth engagement than imperial profiles. The tooth meshing is more reliable. However, backlash can be slightly greater. > This pitch was developed to enable higher load carrying capacity...
