S2M Timing Belt - 400x6mm Closed Loop
This S2M Timing Belt is often used for RepRap 3D Printers and is capable of converting high torque from servomotors into linear motion.
These S2M Timing Belts are cut down and joined into 400mm (Circumference) Closed Loops with a 6mm width, and are designed to work in conjunction with Stepper Motors and pulleys to translate the rotational force of the motor into linear motion. The S2M tooth profile is made for high-torque applications, and feature a special design that grips well to S2M pulleys and gears, which prevent any slipping while ensuring perfect accuracy at all times – regardless of the direction in which the Timing Belts are moving or being pulled.
These types of belts are often used in applications like 3D printing and CNC milling, as well as a host of other mechanical devices and functional parts within machines. In such examples, a head, extruder, drill or similar part needs to be able to move with precision along linear paths, often requiring a high torque for fast movements, quick acceleration, as well as deceleration. Just be sure to try and match the 6mm belt width with 6mm Gears & Pulleys, so that sideways movement is reduced as much as position – which will in turn help maintain excellent accuracy throughout its lifespan.
