Re: Timing Belt Pitch

We are using it for a drive application, and gearing to about 17 fps with a low gear of around 7 fps. We were thinking of not building to the exact center to center distance, but going with a tensioner, because we felt it would be beneficial to get the extra chain wrap, and also because it would allow us to change ratios. Is the general consensus that building for exact center to center distance is better?
