How do you calculate timing belt and pulley?
To quickly calculate the Outside Diameter (O.D.) in inches of any 8mm pitch timing belt pulley divide the number of teeth on the pulley by ten (10). For example an 80 tooth pulley would have an 8” Outside Diameter (O.D.) (80 teeth / 10) or a 33 tooth pulley would have a 3.3” Outside Diameter (O.D.) (33 teeth / 10).
