Power Transmission Parts

TIMING BELTS

The goal of any timing belt is simple: you’re trying to create a synchronous, non-slip transmission of movement during the manufacturing process. You can’t do this if your timing belt and your timing belt pulley aren’t working together, which is always our top priority.

Illinois Pulley & Gear can produce timing belts that are made-to-order with any material or pitch that you need. From the moment we opened our doors until now, we’ve always pledged to listen to and comprehend your specialized requirements, providing you with the innovative solutions you need to thrive in your own business. Not only do we want to do this as efficiently as possible, but in the most cost-effective way as well.

TIMING PULLEY STOCK

As is true with every other custom part that we manufacture, all the timing pulley stock that comes from Illinois Pulley & Gear comes straight from our Schaumburg factory. In addition to supporting our local economy, we find that the added benefit of keeping our operations localized exclusively in the United States is that we can be actively involved at all parts of the process. Not only that, but it allows us to offer the fast turnaround times our clients need when they run into troubles of any kind.

Because of this, you also have complete control over the final shape of your finished product. Once we know what it is that you’re trying to accomplish, all you have to do is specify the type of material you want to use and the number of teeth you need. We can take care of the rest and have timing pulley stock in your hands before you know it.

Even if you’re working with a rare or otherwise unique type of material, or if you’re trying to do something that you’ve been historically unable to, we have what it takes to make the impossible a reality. We’re fast, we’re flexible, and we’re as precise as you need us to be – exactly the way it should be.

FLANGES

Something we’ve always been proud of at IPG is our industry leading flanging process – one that we developed ourselves through hard work and dedication. We take advantage of a few different techniques to help meet your demands, regardless of what they may be.

Roll skating, for example, sees a flange attached to a smaller timing pulley in a way that is always easily maintainable. Heat shrinking, on the other hand, is ideal when you need to attach large, heavy flanges to timing pulleys. This is a bit more permanent, as the material gets heated to 450 degrees before being secured into place.

When it comes to power transmissions in particular, our bolt-on flanges are also a common option for many clients. This is one of the most durable methods available and sees flanges held in place on the sides of a timing pulley by flat head screws. The key advantage of this is that those screws can be easily removed by just about anyone during the maintenance process. This is also why this is one of the more common methods being used by various companies for the purposes of prototyping and experimentation in particular.
