GT2 Pulley 20 Teeth 8mm Bore Width 6mm

GT2 Pulley with 8 mm Shaft and 20 Teeth

The product is a GT2 timing pulley with a width of 6 millimeters. It has 20 teeth, and its shaft hole is 8 millimeters. This pulley is made of aluminum and is very lightweight. The pulley is attached to the shaft using a socket head Allen screw placed in the side part of the pulley. The standard pitch for GT2 series belts and pulleys is 2 millimeters, making them a suitable choice for precise movements. However, this series does not have the ability to lift or move high torques and is suitable for use in DIY projects and low-torque applications. One of the most popular uses of this pulley is in 3D printers, to move the x and y axes. Common applications of this product include 3D printers and small CNC machines.

Mostly, DIY makers use this pulley in 3d printers or mini CNCs to mount on the 8mm shafts and then, transport the power created by stepper motors to the rest of the machine.

If stronger options are needed, for example in CNC milling machines or conveyors, you can use M series belts and pulleys, for instance, 3M and 5M series. When selecting a belt, make sure that its model and width are compatible with the pulley for proper fitting.
