EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF TIMING BELT HEIGHT AT INTERTEETH

Abstract

Experimental determination of timing belt height at inter-teeth is presented in this paper. Firstly, the kinematic analyse of meshing at timing belt power transmitter is done. On the basis of the results, obtained by kinematic analyse, identification and analysis of tribomechanical systems at timing belt pulley of the power transmitter are done. Special focus is put on tribomechanical system that consist of inter-teeth space-head of pulley teeth. Experimental testing was done by special, custom design and made, testing device that operate as open power loop. Variations of timing belt pitch, width and height of timing belt, so as variation of timing belt height at inter-teeth are registered during experimental testing. The registration and analysis of changings of timing belt height at inter-teeth are done with simulation of real exploitative conditions.
