And if that pulley has a 5mm pitch then the belt should match at all points, regardless of the path in between. But who knows, you answer sounds a lot better then mine. I have never been much of a math wiz.

Have you experienced a issue like this or are you just making a well educated guess (theory)?

This is a real issue with any toothed belt or chain if you attempt to engage different locations of the same sprocket.

Ok. That is a good image. Thank you. I have a idea to work around that. Thanks.
