GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop 6mm Width for 3D Printer CNC
GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop 6mm Width for 3D Printer CNC
The GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop is a critical component designed for 3D printers and CNC machines. This belt plays a vital role in transmitting motion and power in precision-driven applications. The GT2 belt features a 6mm width and a length of 400 mm, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial and DIY projects.
The primary function of the GT2 Rubber Timing Belt Closed Loop is to transmit rotary motion from a driving pulley to a driven pulley, while maintaining precise positioning and synchronization. This is achieved through the belt's teeth, which engage with the pulleys, ensuring smooth and consistent movement.
In 3D printing and CNC applications, the GT2 belt is used to drive the axes of motion (X, Y, and Z), enabling precise positioning and control of the print head or cutting tool. The belt's closed-loop design ensures that the motion is continuous and backlash-free, resulting in improved print quality and reduced vibrations.
