Do GT2 belts work on HTD pulleys reliably?

Depending on what width you need SDP/SI has some in that length range, but all their stock looks a little low.

I've used Vbeltsupply.com several times. Also Amazon has HTD belts.

The part number Is length_mm - 5M - width_mm

Your 127 tooth belt would be a 635-5M-15, a quick search on the correct Gates P/N should yield plenty of supplier options.

Has anyone else had issues with belt calculators coming up short on center to center distance? Our belts are a lot looser than we'd like then to be, using the distance provided on the WCP calculator.

Just to double check, does the WCP calculator match the SDP-SI calculator?

Proper tension for a belt is surprisingly loose in my experience. It shouldn't be skipping or anything, but the belts do have a little give. I've found teams that manually tension belts tend to over tension which decreases belt life.
