Engineers must know the knowledge of timing belt selection

01

When to use timing belt


Long wheelbase, up to 10m


low noise


The transmission accuracy is relatively high (generally up to 20, if you want higher, you need to add closed-loop feedback)


Speed ​​<50m/s


Power P<300kw


Transmission ratio i<10


Temperature -30-90 degrees Celsius



02

Know the synchronous belt If you want to find more synchronous belt parameters, please click synchronous belt parameters


1

Tooth profile

Trapezoid

Applicable occasions: occasions with low speed and low power transmission.


Advantages: high transmission accuracy and cheap


Disadvantages: The tooth root is easy to stress concentration, so the load capacity is low; the noise and vibration are large


Arc tooth

Applicable occasions: small tooth pitch and small backlash, more suitable for positioning and high torque


Advantages: high transmission accuracy, large transmission torque, low noise, can prevent interference during tooth meshing


Disadvantages: expensive


2

Material

Rubber timing belt

Use occasion: mainly transmit power


Advantages: high transmission power, high fatigue resistance, long life,


Disadvantages: not wear-resistant, large deformation, easy to fall off powder.


Polyurethane timing belt


Use occasions: mainly transfer sports


Advantages: small deformation, high transmission accuracy, less flying debris


Disadvantages: not water resistant, poor high and low temperature performance, low load



03

Selection timing belt


Explanation


Although the steps of synchronous belt selection and calculation of each brand are similar, but there will be certain differences, and many brand synchronous belts have written very detailed how to calculate the synchronous belt of their own brand, so I will not explain it here. When using the model, you can refer to the calculation formula of the corresponding brand.



04

Attention to the design of synchronous belt


1

The parallelism of the axis of the pulley must be guaranteed, if not, the synchronous belt is easy to run off, or climb up the retaining ring.


2

It must be possible to adjust the preload. The shaft spacing is designed to be adjustable as much as possible. When the shaft spacing is not adjustable, in order to ensure that the synchronization has a certain preload, a tensioner can be used for tensioning. Note: The tensioner should be set on the slack side of the belt. If the tensioner is installed on the outside of the slack side, the diameter> the diameter of the small pulley in the transmission; if it is set on the inside, the number of teeth on the tensioner should be> the number of small pulleys.


3

The transmission device and the shaft must have a certain rigidity, if not, the load is easily unevenly distributed, aggravating the wear of the teeth and the edges.


4

Excessive twists and turns are strictly prohibited. Whether the timing belt is placed or in use, it should avoid excessive bending, which is easy to cause the tensile layer to break.


5

Avoid direct sunlight. Because the material of the timing belt is mainly rubber or polyurethane, it is not suitable for long-term exposure under the sun, which will accelerate their aging.


6

Design shield. On the one hand, it can protect the safety of the operator, on the other hand, it can also protect the safety of the timing belt.


7

oil-proof. The transmission parts of the synchronous belt with high precision are easy to slip the teeth if they are stained with oil, which causes the load to drop and the transmission position is not accurate.

Microfabrication of biomedical lab-on-chip devices. A review/Biomeditsiiniliste kiiplaborite valmistamine.

1. INTRODUCTION Lab-on-chip technology focuses on the development of hybrid devices, which integrate fluidic and electronic components onto the same chip [1-5]. They are devoted primarily to liquid sample testing and handling. Such devices reduce laboratory processes in a manner competitive to bench-top instruments. Lab-on-chip technology emphasizes integration, chip programmability, increased sensitivity, minimal reagent consumption, sterilization and efficient sample detection and separation. Lab-on-chip functionality includes sample handling, mixing, filtering, analysis and monitoring. A typical lab-on-chip device contains microchannels, which allow liquid samples to flow inside the chip, but also integrates measuring, sensing and actuating components such as microvalves, microfluidic mixers, microelectrodes, thermal elements, or optical apparatuses. Some commercial lab-on-chip devices incorporate electronics that operate their apparatuses (Fig. 1). The lab-on-chip devices are c

Missing in the Park: Bizarre Disappearances in National Parks

Image
Millions of people are visiting our beautiful national parks each year. They travel from one side of the continent to the other to see the breathtaking tall Sequoia trees on the west coast to the pristine beaches of South Carolina on the east. Attendance numbers at national parks have set all-time record highs in the last few years. According to Los Angeles Times , Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Sequoia and Yosemite national parks reported setting attendance records during 2016, with all parks reporting battery a whopping 330.97 million people visiting our recreational parks â€" and hundreds, maybe thousands, of those people are missing. Amy Wroe Bechtel – Shoshone National Forest It was 21-years ago on the afternoon of July 24, 1997, Amy Wroe Bechtel, 24, began her run outside of Lander, Wyoming, training for the 2000 Olympic Marathon she had hoped to qualify for.

wifi paddle boat.

Summer is in full swing in Oklahoma and the kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews and, well, just about everyone we know is in Lake Zumwalt to cool down. My wife has purchased enough pool toys to fill Lake Zumwalt, so I figured I would join the pool toy fray with WiFi Paddle Boat.WiFi Paddle Boat is a paddle boat controlled via wifi using rubber a smart phone, tablet or other touch enabled device. WiFi Paddle Boat creates a wifi access point (much like the small sport cameras) that you connect to via your wifi enabled device wifi settings. Then, using your wifi touch enabled device web browser, you simply navigate to the WiFi Paddle Boat web page and off you go! The controls for WiFi Paddle Boat are identical to those of my "Lady Buggy" and "Santa Sleigh" designs so it's easy for the grandkids to operate.A word of caution; I designed WiFi Paddle Boat to be "splash resistant" not "water proof", so if a rogue wave, grandchild, niece, nephew, et
