American Metric Timing Pulley 36 Teeth 5.73″ Pitch for H150 Belt

Description

Product Overview

The American Metric 36-tooth ANSI timing pulley with flange is engineered for demanding industrial environments where precision and durability are paramount. Constructed from hardened steel, the pulley meets ANSI standards for timing pulleys, guaranteeing consistent tooth geometry and dimensional stability. With a 5.73‑inch pitch diameter and a 1/2‑inch pitch, it is perfectly sized for H150 synchronous belts, delivering smooth power transmission and minimizing belt wear. The flange design adds axial rigidity, preventing belt slippage and protecting the bushing interface. This model is compatible with a 1610 taper‑lock bushing, simplifying installation and ensuring a secure fit on shafts ranging from 1‑3/8″ to 1‑3/4″ hub diameters. The overall hub diameter of approximately 3‑5/8″ and face width of 1‑3/4″ provide ample bearing surface, while the 1″ width through bore accommodates standard shaft dimensions. Engineered for high‑torque applications, this timing pulley is a reliable component for conveyors, gearboxes, mixers, and other power‑transmission systems.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of industrial applications, this timing pulley excels in environments that demand precise synchronization and robust load handling. Typical use cases include material handling conveyors, where the H150 belt synchronizes multiple rollers to maintain consistent speed and tension. In gearboxes, the pulley drives secondary shafts, ensuring accurate timing between gears and reducing vibration. The steel flange construction makes it suitable for high‑temperature and chemically aggressive settings, such as food‑processing equipment, chemical mixers, and automotive assembly lines. Its 36‑tooth configuration provides a balance between speed reduction and torque multiplication, making it ideal for machines that require moderate speed control without sacrificing power. Installation is straightforward: the 1610 taper‑lock bushing secures the pulley to the shaft, while the flange aligns the belt path, reducing the need for additional alignment tools. Maintenance is minimal; the hardened steel resists wear, and the flange protects the bushing from axial loads, extending service life.

FAQ

What belt size is compatible with this pulley?

The pulley is designed for H150 synchronous belts with a 1/2‑inch pitch. It works with standard H150 belt widths ranging from 0.5″ to 1.5″.

Can this pulley be used on a shaft without a taper‑lock bushing?

While the pulley can be mounted directly on a shaft, using the recommended 1610 taper‑lock bushing ensures optimal alignment, load distribution, and ease of installation.

What is the maximum torque rating for this pulley?

When installed with the proper bushing and on a correctly sized shaft, the pulley can safely transmit up to 1,200 Nm of torque, suitable for most medium‑load industrial applications.

Is the flange interchangeable with other pulley models?

The flange is specific to this 36‑tooth ANSI timing pulley design. For other tooth counts or pitch diameters, a matching flange must be selected to maintain proper belt alignment.

How do I maintain the pulley to ensure long service life?

Regularly inspect the pulley for signs of wear or corrosion, keep the flange and teeth clean from debris, and verify that the bushing remains securely seated. Lubricate the shaft as recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
