Tutorial: How to Use GT2-20T Pulley Bore Size 6.35 mm

The GT2-20T pulley with a bore diameter of 6.35 mm is an essential component for 3D printers, CNC machines, and laser cutters. It is ideal for anyone building or improving a mechanical system that requires motion transmission.

What you need

• Stepper motor
• GT2 belt
• Lubricating oil
• Assembly tools
• Drilling
• Insulating tape

Steps

1. Check the pulley diameter and GT2 belt type on the datasheet.
2. Install the pulley on the stepper motor or a fixed support, ensuring the bore is perfectly centered.
3. Connect the GT2 belt to the pulley and the opposing pulley, making sure it is tight but not too tight.
4. Apply a thin layer of lubricant inside the pulley to reduce friction.
5. If necessary, use insulating tape to secure any movement of the pulley.
6. Check the system operation, ensuring that the pulley rotates without any issues.
7. If necessary, adjust the GT2 belt tension to ensure smooth movement.
8. Test the entire system to verify that everything works correctly.
