Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A transmission system using a toothed belt includes a belt body made of elastomer and a core wire made of carbon fiber and provided so as to be embedded in the belt body and form a helix having a pitch in a belt width direction. The belt body includes a flat band portion having a horizontally long rectangular cross section and a plurality of tooth portions integrally provided on an inner peripheral side of the flat band portion. A belt tension T0.2 per belt width of 1 mm when a belt elongation rate is 0.2% is 70 N/mm or more, an amount of backlash between the toothed belt and a toothed pulley is 0.10 mm or more and less than 0.65 mm, a hardness of the belt body is 89° or more in JIS K 6253 Durometer Type A, and a surface dynamic friction coefficient is 1.5 or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A transmission system using a toothed belt, the transmission system comprising: a toothed belt including a belt body made of elastomer and a core wire made of carbon fiber and provided so as to be embedded in the belt body and form a helix having a pitch in a belt width direction; and a toothed pulley meshed with the toothed belt, wherein the belt body includes a flat band portion having a horizontally long rectangular cross section and a plurality of tooth portions integrally provided on an inner peripheral side of the flat band portion, the core wire is a single twisted yarn formed by twisting a filament bundle of carbon fiber forming the core wire in one direction, a number of twists of the core wire of the single twisted yarn per length of 10 cm is four times/10 cm or more and twelve times/10 cm or less, and a belt tension T 0.2 per belt width of 1 mm when a belt elongation rate is 0.2% is 70 N/mm or more, an amount of backlash between the toothed belt and a toothed pulley is 0.10 mm or more and less than 0.65 mm, a hardness of the belt body is 89° or more in JIS K 6253 Durometer Type A, and a surface dynamic friction coefficient is 1.5 or less. 2. The transmission system using a toothed belt according to claim 1 , wherein the belt body is formed of a thermosetting elastomer. 3. The transmission system using a toothed belt according to claim 2 , wherein the belt body is formed of a thermosetting polyurethane resin. 4. The transmission system using a toothed belt according to claim 1 , wherein a total number of filaments of carbon fiber forming the core wire is 6000 or more and 48000 or less. 5. The transmission system using a toothed belt according to claim 1 , wherein the pitch is 8 mm or more and 14 mm or less.
