GT Timing Pulleys and Belts. This high torque series includes four types of rugged, round tooth profile Timing Pulleys (2GT, 3GT, 5GT and 8YU), built to deliver exceptionally durable performance in high accuracy positioning applications, with minimal backlash. Each product type comes in a variety of styles and a wide range of sizes (e.g., width, number of teeth, etc.).

For the 3GT, 5GT and 8YU versions, users can select construction material options that include 2017 aluminum alloy (Duralumin), 1045 carbon steel, or 1045 carbon steel with black oxide finish. The 2GT version comes in 2017 aluminum alloy (Duralumin) with 5052 aluminum alloy flange and clear anodized finish. They can also specify shaft bore machining options, such as location and configuration. MISUMI offers a range of GT Series Timing Belts for use with the GT Timing Pulleys. Shipping time for the new products is six (6) days.

• MXL, XL, L and H Types – conventional trapezoidal timing pulleys for standard torque applications
• S2M, S3M, S5M and S8M Types – circular-arc timing pulleys for high torque applications
• T Types – trapezoidal toothed timing pulleys for conveyance of light loads and transmissions
