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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 13050 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 41, Pulleys and belts (including
veebelts), Subcommittee SC 4, Synchronous belt drives.
Annexes A , B and C form a normative part of this International Standard. Annex D is for information only.
Introduction
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that
compliance with this International Standard may involve the use of a patent concerning belt tooth and pulley groove
profiles given in 8.1.1 and 8.2.2.
ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of this patent right.
The holder of this patent right has assured ISO that he is willing to negotiate licences under reasonable and non-
discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the world. In this respect, the statement of the
holder of this patent right is registered with ISO. Information may be obtained from:
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights other than those identified above. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such
patent rights.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the principal characteristics of synchronous endless belts and pulleys for use
in synchronous belt drives1) for mechanical power transmission and where positive indexing or synchronization
may be required.
2 Normative reference
The following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these
publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to
investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the normative document indicated below. For
undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC
maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.
3 Belt types
Six belt types for synchronous drives are standardized:
1) Synchronous belt drives have been known by various titles in the past: for example, timing belt drives, positive belt drives,
gear belt drives.
4 Belt nomenclature
A belt is identified by a combination of numbers and letters as follows:
d) the width in millimetres or 10 times the width in millimetres for the S-type belt;
e) double-sided belts are designated by adding the letter "D" before the tooth profile letter.
EXAMPLE A curvilinear tooth synchronous belt of 14 mm pitch, 40 mm wide, 1 400 mm in pitch length is identified as
follows:
1400-H14M-40 for H-type single-sided belt, 1400-DH14M-40 for H-type double-sided belt;
400-S14M-1400 for S-type single-sided belt, 400-DS14M-1400 for S-type double-sided belt;
1400-R14M-40 for R-type single-sided belt, 1400-DR14M-40 for R-type double-sided belt.
5 Pulley types
Six pulley types for synchronous drives are standardized:
6 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 identified as is the belt by a combination of numbers and letters as follows:
e) the width in millimetres or ten times the width in millimetres for S-type pulleys.
EXAMPLE A pulley for a curvilinear toothed belt which has 14 mm pitch and 30 grooves with a nominal width of 40 mm is
identified as follows:

The pitch length of a synchronous belt shall be determined by placing the belt on a measuring fixture composed of
the following elements.
7.1.3.1.1 Two pulleys of equal diameter, as specified in Table 3, of the proper belt type and having standard
tooth space dimensions. These pulleys should be made to the tolerances shown in Table 3 and have the proper
clearance Cm, between pulley and theoretical belt as specified in Table 3 (see Figure 2). One pulley shall be free to
rotate on a fixed-position shaft, while the other shall be free to rotate on a movable shaft to permit the centre
distance to change.
7.1.3.1.3 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 3 determine the recommended sizes for measuring the belt pitch
length. Practically, other sizes of pulleys could be used provided they have the same number of teeth, and meet the dimensional
requirements of Table 3.
The total measuring force to be applied for measuring belts is given in Table 4.
7.1.3.3 Procedure
In measuring the pitch length of a synchronous belt, the belt should be rotated at least two revolutions to seat it
properly and to divide the total force equally between the two lengths of the belt.
The pitch length shall be calculated by adding the pitch circumference of one of the pulleys to twice the measured
centre distance.

7.2.1 General
The pulley is characterized by a curvilinear groove profile. This groove profile is defined as the profile formed by the
generating tool rack form required to machine-finish the curvilinear profile. The profile is different for each pulley
diameter, but can be closely approximated by a nominal groove profile over specified ranges of number of grooves.
Dimensions and tolerances for the generating tool rack for H8M and H14M pulleys are given in Table 5 and shown
in Figure 4.
