Smooth Belt - 1/8D (8.0 ID)
Discontinued
A smooth (round) rubber belt for use with pulley-based drive systems in robotics and mechanical projects. The elastic construction applies tension when stretched across pulleys, creating excellent grip. Compatible with Actobotics and similar robotics building systems.
Specifications
- Profile – 1/8″ diameter (round/smooth)
- Inner Diameter – 8.0″
- Durometer Hardness – A70
- Temperature Range – −35°F to 250°F (−37°C to 121°C)
- Stretch Factor – 12–26%
- Material – Rubber
Key Features
- Elastic Tension – Applies grip force when stretched across pulleys
- High-Grip Rubber – Excellent traction between belt and pulley
- Wide Temperature Range – Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications
- Versatile – Works with various pulley sizes within stretch range
Tip: A lower stretch factor (12%) applies less side-load to axles with less friction. A higher stretch factor (26%) provides more resistance to belt deflection but increases axle side-load.
Ideal For
- Robotics pulley drives and linear actuators
- Follow focus systems
- XY tables and 90-degree drives
- Robot tracks and battery hold-downs
Package Contents
- 1× Smooth Belt (1/8″ D, 8.0″ ID)
