What you need

• Stepper motor
• GT2 Belt
• Pulley cord

Steps

1. Check the datasheet for compatibility of your GT2 belt with this pulley.
2. Install the stepper motor at the base of the support or on the moving component, ensuring that the shaft is well centered and stable.
3. Pass the GT2 belt through the GT2 housing and around the stepper motor pulley.
4. Insert the GT2 belt into the GT2-20T-6.35 6mm pulley, ensuring it is taut but not too tight to avoid excessive friction.
5. Check the tension of the GT2 belt and adjust if necessary.
6. Connect the stepper motor to the control system (e.g., Arduino) following the motor manual instructions.
