Polyurethane timing belt

Product catalog summary
Introduction
FREESPANTM Belt, produced by MITSUBOSHI Belting Ltd., is a polyurethane timing belt designed for precise synchronous transportation and power transmission. It operates effectively between -30℃ and +80℃, offering high flexibility, length stability, and low friction, with resistance to hydrolysis, oil, fuel, abrasion, and weather conditions.
Structure and Material Characteristics
The belt is made of polyurethane with a Shore A hardness of 92 and zinc-coated steel cords, ensuring high flexibility, stability, and chemical resistance.
Standard Belt Type and Order Code
Available in profiles like T5, T10, AT5, AT10, HTD 5M, HTD 8M, and HTD 14M, with a maximum width of 150mm. The order code includes width, tooth profile, length, and fabric type.
Applications
Used in systems such as linear guide positioning, material handling robots, automatic doors, lifting machines, and glass plate conveyors.
Design Manual
Design involves selecting the tooth profile, calculating peripheral force, determining belt width, checking tension, and ensuring pulley diameters meet requirements. Safety factors and friction coefficients are provided for various conditions.
Safety Precautions
Includes installing safety covers, using correct tension, and proper storage. Belts should not exceed specified capacity or be used for unintended purposes.
Tooth Profile and Specifications
Specifications for profiles like T5, T10, AT5, AT10, HTD 5M include tooth share strength, maximum tension, and breaking strength. Options for joined belts and fabric types are available.
Belt Characteristics and Specifications
Details for HTD 5M, HTD 8M, and HTD 14M profiles include belt width, tooth profile, and roll length. Available in open-end (ML) and joined (MJ) configurations.
Ordering Information
Specify belt width, tooth profile, and length. Example: 25mm width HTD 5M belt with 100,000mm length is ordered as 25 HTD 5M−100000−**.
Tooth Share Strength and Tension
Data on tooth share strength for various RPMs. Joined belts have a minimum length of 1000mm, with reduced strength and tension by 50%.
Pulley Specifications
Minimum specifications for HTD 8M and HTD 14M profiles include shaft diameters and teeth counts.
Max Allowable Tension and Breaking Strength
Information on maximum tensile load and breaking strength for different belt widths.
Belt Standard Width and Weight
Standard widths and weights are listed, with belts made from thermoplastic polyurethane and zinc-coated steel cords. Standard color is white.
Cleats Specifications
Cleats, made of thermoplastic polyurethane, can be welded onto the belt. Available in various thicknesses and heights, with specific tolerances. Recommendations for cleat positioning are provided.
Cleats Tolerance and Burr Removal
Tolerances for cleats and positioning are specified. Burr removal can be requested if necessary.

Design Procedure STEP 1 Choice of Belt Tooth Profile Calculation of the Peripheral Force According to the Fig.-1, Select the tooth profile. This figure is based on more than 12 teeth meshing. In case of known Mass Horizontal or Conveying Fu=(m×α)+(m×g×μ) Vertical Fu=(m×α)+(m×g) Note μ number is shown in Table-5 In case of known drive power In case of known drive torque Determination of the Belt Width The belt width is calculated by following formula. Bw=(Fu×Ks×10)/(Fspec×Zm) Fu Ks Zm Zm Fspec Use above calculation result. Safety factor Number of tooth meshing in drive pulley. Z×arc of contact/360°...
