What you need
- Stepper motor
- GT2 belt
- Lubricating oil
- Assembly tools
- Drilling
- Insulating tape
Steps
- Check the pulley diameter and GT2 belt type on the datasheet.
- Install the pulley on the stepper motor or a fixed support, ensuring the bore is perfectly centered.
- Connect the GT2 belt to the pulley and the opposing pulley, making sure it is tight but not too tight.
- Apply a thin layer of lubricant inside the pulley to reduce friction.
- If necessary, use insulating tape to secure any movement of the pulley.
- Check the system operation, ensuring that the pulley rotates without any issues.
- If necessary, adjust the GT2 belt tension to ensure smooth movement.
- Test the entire system to verify that everything works correctly.
