Pulleys are H series (heavy) and have trapezoidal teeth. Select a pulley with a maximum belt width that’s the same or larger than your timing belt width.

Add these free-spinning pulleys to your timing belt setup to minimize vibration and keep belts from wearing out. The needle bearing at the center of these pulleys is lined with small, cylindrical rollers that reduce friction as they rotate. This bearing allows both the pulley and the shaft it’s mounted on to spin independently. Made from iron or steel, these pulleys are strong and wear-resistant. The black oxide coating protects the pulleys from corrosion in dry environments.

Trapezoidal teeth on the outside of the pulley fit into teeth inside your timing belt—select a pulley that matches your belt trade size. The maximum belt width should be the same size or larger than the width of your timing belt.

Curved teeth have more surface contact with belts than traditional trapezoidal teeth, which allows you to apply more torque without damaging belts. These teeth fit together seamlessly to prevent backlash, or unwanted movement of the belt on the pulley, for a smooth, quiet cycle. They are also known as curvilinear belt pulleys.

Made of iron, these pulleys are strong enough to carry extra heavy loads. They have trapezoidal teeth. Choose a pulley that matches your shaft diameter—they come machined for a snug fit. A black-oxide coating protects them from corrosion in dry environments.

These HTD (high torque drive) pulleys have a curved tooth shape that provides higher strength than trapezoidal teeth. Select a pulley with a maximum belt width that’s the same or larger than your timing belt width.

Press-fit mount pulleys come machined to the for shaft diameter size and are machinable up to the for maximum shaft diameter size.

Move belts forward and backward or stop and start them in precise positions, especially in areas where rust is a concern. The curved teeth on these high-torque drive (HTD) pulleys have more surface contact with belts than traditional trapezoidal teeth, which allows you to apply more torque without damaging belts. These teeth fit together seamlessly to prevent backlash, or unwanted movement of the belt on the pulley, for a smooth, quiet cycle. These pulleys are often used in 3D printing, machine tool drives, robotics, and other applications where precision is essential. They are also known as curvilinear belt pulleys.

Pair pulleys with an HTD timing belt that has the same pitch. The width of your belt should not be larger than the maximum belt width listed.

Stainless steel pulleys can be wetted repeatedly without rusting or staining.

Keep high torque drive (HTD) timing belt systems running tightly with these idler pulleys. Made with built-in, free-spinning ball bearings, they're installed on shafts or belt tensioners (not included) to remove slack from timing belts. By maintaining tension on the belt, these pulleys reduce wear and vibration in 3D printing, machine tool drives, robotics, and other linear motion applications that require precise positioning.

When replacing an idler pulley, be sure the pulley matches your belt's trade size.

Toothed pulleys are shaped to mesh with the teeth on a timing belt, which reduces wear on the belt's teeth.

Iron pulleys are strong and wear resistant, with a black oxide coating that protects them from corrosion in dry environments.

For higher speed or higher torque applications, these GT series timing belt pulleys provide a more precise fit than HTD pulleys. Use them where accuracy is critical, such as in storage and retrieval systems or in robotics. Similar to HTD timing belt pulleys, their teeth are curved for high strength. The curved teeth create positive grip engagement with timing belts, so these pulleys do not require re-tensioning—unlike drives using V-belts or sheaves. And unlike chain drives, there’s no metal-on-metal contact, so these pulleys don’t require lubrication.
