Synchronous timing belt/pulley interchangeability
Synchronous timing belt/pulley interchangeability
(OP)
Looking for a guide to belt manufacturer interchangeability...
Seems like Standard Trapazoidal and HTD profiles are the only "Standard" Profiles that many belt manufacturers make and can interchange belts with.
What belt manufacturers are discrete about is the newer curvilinear profiles. Some questions I have are following...
Can Gates GT2 belts be ran on HTD pulleys, and vise versa?
Can Gates GT2 belts be used with Carlyle RPP profiles and vise versa?
Can Carlyle RPP belts be ran with HTD pulleys and vise versa?
If there was just a nice chart that showed recommended interchangeability that would be nice!!
Thanks in advance

RE: Synchronous timing belt/pulley interchangeability
There are precedents, e.g. H-P inks vs. Epson printers, etc.
Select a standard, or select a vendor; that's your choice,
