Tutorial: How to Use MXL Pulley 18 Teeth Bore 6.35mm

The MXL pulley with 18 teeth and an internal bore of 6.35 mm is an essential component for applications requiring motion transmission in mechanical systems such as 3D printers or CNC systems. This guide will help you install it correctly.

What you need

• belt drive system
• compatible MXL cable
• appropriate wrench

Steps

1. Check that the wire diameter conforms to the pulley specifications.
2. Position the pulley at the desired point in the guide system.
3. Use an open-end wrench to secure the pulley to the support or shaft.
4. Check that the central hole (6.35 mm) is perfectly aligned with the shaft it will be mounted on.
5. Insert the shaft into the pulley and ensure it does not move.
6. Connect the pulley to the guide system via a compatible MXL wire.
7. Test the system’s operation with a motor or power source.
8. Adjust the wire tensions as needed to achieve smooth and precise movement.

Mini project

Design and build a simple linear 3D printer using the MXL pulley as part of the guide system.

Common mistakes

• Do not verify the correct alignment of the pulley with the central hole.
• Use an incompatible or unsuitable wire for the required tension.
• Omit the final functional system check.
• Tighten the pulley too much, preventing free movement.

Recommended accessories

• MXL compatible cables
• 3D printer guide system
• 4 pole stepper motor
• Universal wrenches

Frequently asked questions

Is this pulley suitable for CNC systems as well?
Yes, the MXL pulley with 18 teeth and a 6.35 mm bore can be used in CNC systems where the cable diameter matches the specifications.

How can I calculate the rotation speed?
Check the pulley datasheet for the necessary information and apply the formula: Speed = (Number of teeth * Cable circumference) / Time.
