Positioning Accuracy

Position Accuracy

Positioning accuracy is a function of the belt pitch tolerance, typically +/- .001 inch.  In adjoining pitches, a random accumulation of pitch tolerance can result in a maximum pitch placement variance of .002 inches.  This occurs when the first pitch is -.001 inch, and the second pitch is +.001 inch.  Tooling can be designed to combine a number of intermittent pitches into one master pitch, decreasing the likelihood of unacceptable accumulated pitch variance. 

Contact a Belt Technologies sales engineer for specifics about tooling and management of pitch accumulation.
