About English Pitch Timing Belts

English pitch timing belts mate with same-pitch timing pulleys in power transmission systems where maintenance of speed ratio is an important design consideration. English pitch is the distance between belt teeth based on inches (in). With English pitch timing belts, a timing pulley transmits force to the belt via evenly-spaced grooves that mate with the teeth in the belt. These same grooves and teeth prevent belt slippage. Synchronous belt drives are highly-efficient devices. Synchronous belts come in a wide variety of materials and reinforcements. English pitch timing belts or imperial pitch timing belts have a trapezoidal tooth form.
