Re: Timing belt in drive success
We have used HTD5-15 short belts with exact C to C and have had no issues.
However this year we used a long HTD5-15 to transmit power across the robot. The short of it- things bend, flex, and stretch. This is a belt tensioner we had to add after several competition. This belt was perfectly tensioned by C to C in the beginning of the season. What changed? A little bit of every thing. With long belts and flexing frames, Tensioners from the beginning may be a good idea. http://wiki.team1640.com/index.php?t...0815_csm-2.jpg It maybe a little complex but, it was a good cad - machining exercise. I believe that the Gates GT-2 belts are superior to the HTDs we use but, the availability and lead times force us to go with HTD. We have not had a problem with plastic pulleys at all. |
