GT2 5mm - Generator

[R.C.]

I've been looking around to generate my own GT2 5mm profiles. But haven't been able to find the equation to make a parametric model nor a generator. I use MasterCAM to make sprockets/gears pretty easily, but no dice on pulleys.

Does anyone know if one exists or has anyone made a parametric model/know where to find the equation to generate the profile?

Thanks!

Expired U.S. patent 4515577 might be what you're looking for. (See also http://www.sdp-si.com/D265/HTML/D265T016.html.)

Also try contacting Gates Rubber's Sales Engineering Department for specifications. (According to this, it may cost money, though.)

Maybe also look at this for more ideas.

Tristan, found those exact links when I was searching a few days ago. I emailed the Gates Rep for FIRST. I'll see what he says.

I also found a few programs that would do the profile, they just cost money

Thanks Man!
