Timer Pulley

S M Gears Private Limited manufacturers Timer Pulley. Timer pulley is a specialized variety of pulleys where the outside diameter of the pulley body contains pockets or teeth. Timing teeth keep the holes engaged with the metal belt whereas timing pockets keep the drive lugs fixed on the inner circumference of the belt. It is important to note that the pockets or teeth on the belt are not for transmission of power but just for timing only. The task of moving the belt is carried out by the frictional forces between the pulley surface and the flat belt. The better the function is, the higher is efficiency. The most important application of timer pulley and belt is for driving the camshaft in a motorcycle engine or automobile engine. When toothed belt is used in the timer pulley mechanism, the power transmission is usually higher than the friction-driven belts. Timer pulleys are used in a wide variety of recreational, construction, industrial and other applications. While making pulley or belt for a particular application, manufacturers look into the requirement specifications. Material, ratio, size of the timing belt pulley and weight are some important aspects while designing the right system. The industry experience of the manufacturer makes a big difference while customizing a system.
