Flange Options

Single flange, double flange, or flangeless to match your belt tracking needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose aluminum vs steel timing pulleys?

Aluminum 6061 pulleys are lighter (reducing inertia), have better corrosion resistance, and are more cost-effective for lower torque applications. Steel 45# pulleys offer higher strength, better wear resistance, and are preferred for high-torque, heavy-duty applications. For high-speed applications, aluminum is often preferred to reduce vibration.

What is the purpose of flanges on timing pulleys? +

Flanges prevent the timing belt from tracking off the pulley. Use single flange on the driven pulley (adjustable position) and double flange on the drive pulley for best tracking. Flangeless pulleys can be used when belt tension is high and tracking is otherwise controlled.

How do I select the right teeth ratio for my application? +

Teeth ratio determines speed reduction/increase. Ratio = driven pulley teeth / drive pulley teeth. For 2:1 speed reduction, use a 40T driven pulley with a 20T drive pulley. Ensure minimum teeth in mesh (usually 6+ teeth) to avoid tooth jumping under load.
