What does GT2 mean belt?
GT2 timing belts are intended for lower load applications such as the first reduction in a gearbox, or motor to flywheel. GT2 belts use a smaller pitch than HTD belts, which means you can use larger reductions in those tight fit areas of your robot.
What do the numbers mean on a timing belt?
On metric sizes the number is how wide the timing belt is in millimeters. On standard sizes the number breaks down in inches with a leading zero for sizes under an inch such as: 012=0.125″, 025=0.25″, 037=0.375″, 050=0.500″, 075=0.75″, 100=1.00″, 150=1.50″, 200=2.00″, and 300=3.00″
How do I know the size of my timing belt?

How do I know what size timing belt to get?
What is the difference between GT2 and GT3 belt?
The GT3 belt has a virtually identical performance as the GT2. They’re the same size, are available in the same widths, and have matching tooth profiles. Both belts match to the same pulleys which means there is no need to go back and redesign or rework any component. Changing from GT2 to GT3 is seamless.
What is open timing belt?
Open-ended optibelt ALPHA LINEAR timing belts are made of extruded, thermoplastic polyurethane with tension cords parallel to the edges. The belts are dimensionally stable and their precise positioning makes them ideal for use in linear drive systems. Fabric can also be applied to the belt back.
