Component Name

GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop

Description

The GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop is a critical component designed for 3D printing and CNC applications. It is a continuous loop of rubber reinforced with Kevlar fibers, featuring a GT2 profile and a width of 6mm. This belt is specifically engineered to provide precise motion control, high reliability, and durability in demanding 3D printing and CNC environments.

Functionality

The primary function of the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop is to transmit motion and power between the motor and the driven axis in 3D printing and CNC machines. It ensures precise and consistent movement, enabling the accurate creation of complex shapes and designs.

Key Features

  • GT2 Profile: The belt features a GT2 profile, which ensures a high degree of precision and accuracy in motion transmission. The GT2 profile consists of a trapezoidal tooth design, providing a large contact area between the belt and the pulley, resulting in reduced noise and vibration.
  • Rubber Construction: The belt is made of a high-quality rubber compound reinforced with Kevlar fibers, providing excellent resistance to wear, abrasion, and heat.
  • Closed-Loop Design: The belt is designed as a continuous loop, eliminating the need for splices or joints, which can be prone to failure. This closed-loop design ensures a consistent and reliable performance.
  • 6mm Width: The belt has a width of 6mm, making it compatible with standard GT2 pulleys and idlers used in 3D printing and CNC applications.
  • 280mm Length: The belt has a length of 280mm, suitable for most 3D printing and CNC machines.
  • High-Torque Capability: The belt is designed to handle high-torque applications, making it suitable for demanding 3D printing and CNC tasks.
  • Chemical Resistance: The rubber compound used in the belt is resistant to common chemicals and solvents, ensuring a long lifespan in industrial environments.
  • Low Stretch: The belt is designed to have low stretch, which ensures precise motion control and reduces the risk of belt slippage.

Pin Configuration

  • GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop 6mm Width for 3D Printer CNC
  • Overview
  • The GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop is a high-quality belt designed specifically for 3D printers and CNC machines. It features a 6mm width and a length of 280mm, making it an ideal choice for various applications. This belt is known for its excellent synchronization performance, high accuracy, and durability.
  • Pinout Explanation
  • This GT2 Rubber Timing Belt does not have pins. Instead, it has a toothed structure on the inner side that engages with the GT2 pulleys, allowing for precise movement and synchronization. The belt is designed to be used in conjunction with GT2 pulleys, which are not included with the belt.
  • Connection Structure
  • To connect the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt, follow these steps:
  • Step 1: Mount the GT2 Pulley
  • Mount the GT2 pulley to the stepper motor or other rotating shaft using the provided screws or bolts. Ensure the pulley is securely attached and aligned with the shaft.
  • Step 2: Align the Belt
  • Place the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt around the pulley, ensuring the toothed side faces the pulley.
  • Align the belt with the pulley, making sure the teeth on the belt engage with the grooves on the pulley.
  • Step 3: Attach the Belt to the Idler Pulley or Bearing
  • Attach the other end of the belt to an idler pulley or bearing, depending on the specific application.
  • Ensure the belt is properly tensioned to achieve smooth movement and synchronization.
  • Step 4: Adjust the Belt Tension
  • Adjust the belt tension to the recommended level, usually between 10-20 Nm.
  • Over-tightening can cause wear on the belt and pulley, while under-tightening can lead to slipping and lost steps.
  • Important Notes
  • Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and tensioning the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt.
  • Ensure proper alignment and tensioning to achieve optimal performance and prevent premature wear.
  • Regularly inspect the belt and pulley for signs of wear and damage, and replace them as needed.
  • By following these steps and notes, you can successfully connect the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt to your 3D printer or CNC machine, ensuring smooth and precise movement.

  // Move X-axis 10mm to the right
  int steps = (10  BELT_TEETH) / (BELT_PITCH  BELT_WIDTH);
  stepper.step(steps);
  delay(1000);
// Move X-axis 10mm to the left

belt_width = 6
belt_teeth = 140
# Function to move Y-axis
def move_y_axis(steps):
  # Calculate motor steps based on belt parameters
  motor_steps = (steps  belt_teeth) / (belt_pitch  belt_width)
# Send motor control commands to CNC machine
  ser.write(b'Y' + str(motor_steps).encode() + b'
')
# Move Y-axis 20mm up
move_y_axis(20)
print("Moved Y-axis 20mm up")
# Move Y-axis 20mm down
move_y_axis(-20)
print("Moved Y-axis 20mm down")
```
