• Belt Driven GT2-2M Timing Belts
• Travel distance:
• 500mm is ~15″ (380mm)
• 1000mm is ~35″ (880mm)
• Accuracy: 0.003″ ~0.007″ (0.10mm ~0.20mm)
• Accuracy Positioning: 0.260mm
• Max Force: 2.5lb (11N)
• Max Speed: ~10000 mm/min

Pro Tip:

• Don’t forget to slide the Gantry onto the V-Slot before you attach both Actuator Pulley Plates.
• Don’t forget to attach the Timing Pulley to the Nema17 Motor shaft before attaching the Motor to the Plate.
• Follow this process for correct tensioning the GT2 Belt:
• Tighten the screws on one Actuator Pulley Plate to secure the Plate in position.
• Feed the Belt over the Pulleys and through the hollow center of the V-Slot
• Tie or Clamp the GT2 Belt on both sides of the Gantry
• Pull the other Actuator Pulley Plate away to Tension the GT2 Belt, tighten the screws on the plate while it is under tension

This kit utilises standard v-slot parts to create a very simple but powerful belt driven linear actuator. The belt driven linear actuator takes advantage of the v groove and uses the precise and strong mini v wheels for smooth linear motion. The linear actuator can be used for a whole host of applications, from a simple camera slider, to a modular 3D Printer design.

 

Because this kit uses all standard v-slot parts it can be easily combined with more of these actuators, other types, or a design of your own to quickly build a functional machine.
