Configurable Hub Assortment of Timing Pulleys

MISUMI USA, Inc. announces a new feature for its family of timing pulleys, available in a wide range of materials and sizes, including high-torque versions. The unique feature of this new MISUMI line is the configurable hub, which is offered to suit virtually any shaft hole and flange requirement. Dimensions for the shaft hole and overall hub diameter are configurable in increments of 1 mm, while the hub shoulder height is configurable in increments of 0.5 mm. This development offers engineers many more options in their designs, plus the MISUMI configured part incurs no tooling or minimum order charge.

These new timing pulleys are offered in several aluminum grades with clear anodized, electroless nickel-plated plating or hard anodized surface treatment. 1045 carbon steel and low carbon steel versions are also available with black oxide or electroless nickel plating. This entire MISUMI line of timing pulleys is fully RoHS compliant.

Shaft holes can be specified with round, round with tap, or round with key groove hole and tap design. Set screws are supplied when required. Designed with integral flanges, these pulleys are offered by MISUMI in dozens of shapes and tooth counts, with compatible belts available from the manufacturer, as well.

Additional alterations to the basic designs may also be specified, including set screw angle, machining step on the flange part, detached or one-sided attached flange, as well as a lower cut flange, also configurable in 0.5 mm increments (aluminum pulleys only).

Available timing pulley belt calculation software is offered at the MISUMI website to allow a designer to choose the best belt style for any application, based on selectable criteria.
