GT2 Timing Pulleys

[Ari423]

West Coast Products sells these GT2 Timing Pulley Motor Pinions and the belts that go along with them. But I haven't found a COTS source for live-axle GT2 pulleys (that aren't motor pinions) to use as driven pulleys. Has anyone used these and where did you get your driven pulleys from?

One of the few sources I've found for them is SDP-SI. I know there are a few others though.

Wow I completely missed those! I was looking at SDP/SI but I didn't see the live axle pulleys. Of course as soon as I took a second look I see them.

If anyone knows any other suppliers, the more the merrier.

I promise, if you wait about 1-2 weeks we'll have some cool new products! (The 1/2" hex bore kind, errr pulleys?)

We'll also have a restock on the pinions in about 2-3 weeks as well.

3 mm pitch? Love those things! They hide away nicely.

This past year we used BB Manu for some GT2 pulleys. Great service, fast shipping time. No complaints on my part. Just bore the ID and broach for 1/2" hex, but that is not a big deal.

I am however looking forward to what WCP has in store

3D printing timing belt pulleys to go on a 1/2 hex is pretty doable if you have reasonably high quality 3D printer. If your using a GT2 timing belts the forces are low enough that you shouldn't have issues with durability.

The actual design patents on both HTD & GT2 timing belts have expired, but the belt names are still trade marked.

There is actually a fairly good supply of these parts. Some vendors license the HTD & GT2 names, and sell them that way. There are other vendors that sell them under an in-house name that is fully compatible. Try searching with the original gates part number for any belt or pulley to find more options.
