Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 17396:2014), which has been technically
8a56ed800a05/iso-17396-2017
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— root diameter specifications for AT series pulleys (Figure 6 and Table 12) have been added.
1 Scope
This document specifies the principal characteristics of synchronous endless and open belts and pulleys
of the profile systems T and AT for use in synchronous belt drives for mechanical power transmission
and where positive indexing or synchronization can be required.
NOTE Synchronous belt drives have been known by various titles in the past: for example, timing belt drives,
positive belt drives, gear belt drives.

The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

5 Belt nomenclature
A belt is designated by a combination of numbers and letters as follows:
a) the width, in millimetres;
b) the profile system;
c) the pitch, in millimetres;
d) the belt pitch length, in millimetres (and add the number of teeth in brackets, if required);
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
e) double-sided belts are designated by adding DG or DT before the profile system letter: DG if the
tooth position is opposite Gap; DT if the tooth position is opposite Tooth;
(standards.iteh.ai)
f) open belts are designated by adding the letter “M” behind the length; for spliced belts, use the
letter “V.” ISO 17396:2017

EXAMPLE 1 A metric synchronous belt of 10 mm pitch, profile system T, 50 mm wide, and 1 400 mm in pitch
8a56ed800a05/iso-17396-2017
length is designated as follows:
EXAMPLE 2 A metric synchronous belt of 5 mm pitch, profile system AT, 25 mm wide, and 500 mm in pitch
length (number of teeth = 100) is designated as follows:
EXAMPLE 3 An open metric synchronous belt of 5 mm pitch, profile system AT, 25 mm wide, and 50 000 mm
in pitch length is designated as
25 - AT5 - 50 000 - M.
7 Pulley nomenclature
A pulley for a synchronous drive is identified by the number of grooves, the groove pitch and profile,
and the width. It is designated, as is the belt, by a combination of numbers and letters as follows:
a) the letter “P”, which indicates a pulley;
b) the number of grooves;
c) the profile system;
d) the groove pitch, in millimetres;
e) the width, in millimetres.
EXAMPLE A pulley for a metric toothed belt which has 20 mm pitch and 30 grooves with a nominal width of
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
50 mm is identified as follows:
— (standards.iteh.ai)
for T-profile system pulley: P30 - T20 - 50;

1 single-sided metric synchronous belt
2 symmetrical double-sided metric synchronous belt
3 asymmetric double sided metric synchronous belt
10.1.1 The pitch length of a synchronous belt shall be determined by placing the belt on a measuring
fixture (see Figure 2) composed of the elements given in 10.1.2 to 10.1.4.
10.1.2 Two pulleys of equal diameter, as specified in Table 4, of the proper profile shown in Table 7.
One pulley shall be free to rotate on a fixed-position shaft, while the other shall be free to rotate on a
moveable shaft to permit the centre distance to change.
10.1.3 Means of applying a total measuring force to the moveable pulley, as given in Table 5.
10.1.4 Means of measuring the centre distance between the two pulleys with the necessary degree of
accuracy for centre distance measurement.
NOTE The number of pulley teeth specified in Table 4 determines the recommended sizes for measuring the
belt pitch length. Practicably, the other sizes of pulleys can be used provided they have the same number of teeth
and meet the dimensional requirements of Table 4.

circular moulds
10.2.1 The pitch length of a synchronous belt shall be determined by placing the belt on a measuring
fixture (see Figure 3) composed of the following elements given in 10.2.2 to 10.2.4.
10.2.2 Two identical toothed clamps, of the proper profile, covering three complete belt teeth in mesh,
and having zero spacing tooth shape.
10.2.3 Means of applying a total measuring force to the moveable clamp, as given in Table 5.
10.2.4 Means of measuring the distance between the two clamps with the necessary degree of
accuracy for distance measurement.
