Timing belt pulleys are used to connect and synchronize the rotation between two shaft systems. These Pulleys are designed so that the teeth of the belt enter and leave the grooves with negligible friction. All Pulleys, stock and made-to-order, have minimum tooth-to-groove clearance(backlash).

We have the ability to manufacture a variety of custom products.
Timing pulleys are an essential component of many mechanical systems because they assist in transmitting power and control the timing of various parts. If you're new to working with timing pulleys, this article will guide you through the installation procedure, offering step-by-step instructions and useful hints along the way.
Collect the essential tools and supplies:
Before you begin installing your
timming pulley, make sure you have all of the essential equipment and materials. A wrench or socket set, a torque wrench, a pulley puller (if removing an old pulley), a belt tension gauge, and, of course, the timing pulleys will be required. Check that you have the right size and kind of pulley for your system, as well as any belts or other components.
Remove the old pulley and clean the shaft:
The first step in installing a timing pulley is to remove the old one and clean the shaft. Remove the old pulley with a pulley puller, being careful not to harm the shaft or surrounding components. Once the old pulley has been removed, wipe down the shaft with a clean towel or rag to remove any dirt or residue. This will ensure that the new pulley is fitted on a clean surface.
Install the new pulley on the shaft:
When the shaft is clean and clear of dirt, it's time for installing the new timing pulley. Start by aligning the keyway on the pulley with the key on the shaft. Slide the pulley onto the shaft, ensuring that it is fully placed and flattened against any surrounding components. Tighten the set screws on the pulley using a torque wrench, taking care not to overtighten and damage the threads. Finally, double-check the pulley alignment and make required changes before proceeding to the next stage in the installation procedure.
Align the belt with the pulley:
Once the timing pulley is properly fitted on the shaft, it's time to line it with the belt. This is an essential phase in the installation procedure since misalignment can cause early wear and tear on both the pulley and the belt. First, ensure that the belt is correctly adjusted and in excellent condition before aligning the pulley. Then, align the pulley with the belt using a straight edge or laser alignment tool. Before proceeding to the last stage of the installation procedure, make any required modifications.
Tighten the set screws and testing the rotation of the pulley:
Once the timing pulley aligns up with the belt, tighten the set screws. Use a torque wrench to tighten the screws to the manufacturer's specifications. After tightening the set screws, rotate the pulley to ensure it moves smoothly and without wobbling. If there are any problems with rotation, double-check the belt alignment and tension before making any additional modifications. You're ready to move on to the next phase in your project now that the pulley has been securely installed and aligned.
