Re: 1" Bore Timing Pulleys
Our choice of the 32t HTD5 pulley is part historical and torque requirements. Do not under estimate the abuse the steering components take. The 15 mm belts do stretch over the life of the robot and our key ways do loosen up. That's after a whole season with over a hundred hours of drive time. It sucks up enough of the build season with just boring the pulleys. I don't want to add the time to make them. If we could find a cots pulley I would buy it to save time. Custom pulleys add cost and lead time.
