Monitor Rotation using Timing Belt
kahlid74:
I not super knowledgeable about timing belts so I was hoping to get some help finding two timing belt pulleys I can use. I need an 8MM (5/16 in) bore Timing belt pulley for my stepper motor and a 3/4 in. Timing belt pulley for my shaft. I've found some with both 5/16 and 3/4 on McMaster-Carr but they seem to be for different size timing belts with different pitch.
Anyone know where I can find some these with the same pitch and sized timing belt?

mcmaster and grainger sometimes list the supplier of the items they sell. look at the manufacturer and track them down directly. they will know what sizes are available, etc. I did this with pogo pins a while back, had to go right to the maker but they had what i needed.
it could well be easier to find a belt you can live with and then find sheaves (pullies) to match, more variety of those around.

Following your advice I pushed to manufactuer's and found these guys have 5/16 and 3/4 in bore L series pulleys with 3/8" pitch. So it should be good to go ordering these.

This is exciting. I've been on stand still looking for pulleys. My arduino code is almost ready too! Soon, there shall be a rotating 42" TV in the near future.

glad to be of service.

Just another update in-case anyone else ever needs them, I called them and got directed to Quality Transmission Components and they have boat loads available. So yeah, awesome sauce - http://www.econobelt.com/e-store/Pulleys.htm
So once pulleys arrive try out Arduino code and then I'll start a project thread about building the cab lol. It's going to be a monstrosity.
