We were going to.. the motor already has a 15mm PowerGrip pulley on it... but it seems they're more expensive than chain sprockets.Originally posted by: Kvaerner Masa
Can you use a cog belt instead?

Motorizing a hand truck. Duh!Originally posted by: Shawn
What's the application?
Yeah.Originally posted by: Kvaerner Masa
cog belt
Yes it's a positive drive belt, non slip.
A hand truck? LOL you know you're gonna have to put four wheels on that and a removable seat!
A poly-v will work too. Think snapper self propelled mower and yes you can use the CVT (spinning disk) from it too and have variable speeds forward and backwards.
Yeah.
This is electric motor powered, btw. Using a scooter motor. I looked around at cog belt pullies, but for as big of one as we need.. they're really expensive, heh.
Even with a 9 tooth drive and 80 tooth driven, with the 13" tires(yeah, it's beefy) and ~1400RPM @ 12V of the motor.. we'll still be doing 6MPH. That's a pretty brisk walk..... lol
Granted, it will be on a PWM controller.. but yeah.
Actually, "cog" belts are generally what a V-Belt is called that has teeth cut out on it (have an X prefix). What you are talking about is a synchronus belt drive.. a Timing belt is a style, but there are far better out there.Originally posted by: Eli

Or perhaps I've misunderstood the meaning of "cog belt"..
Timing belt, right?
That's just what McMaster Carr calls them..Originally posted by: bernse

If you are using this on a cart, you should be OK, but be careful, chain is not always a good substitute for those. Some of the HTD/Powergip/Polychain/QT Powerchain (all belt) drives will actually carry more power than chain.. actually I would go so far as to say the all will depending on the size. If I had my horsepower tables at home I would tell you exactly what you need and if the 25R can do it.
And you are correct.. chain will be cheaper, but there is a reason for it. But, like I said (and you pobably know) a small chain may very well do the job for you.
Because my controller only does 12VOriginally posted by: Kvaerner Masa
Yes I was not referring to a positive drive (no slip) for this specific application, hell for fractional hp a simple v belt will be fine.
Why underdrive the motor if you have a controller?
Well, realistically I'd like to keep it as efficient as possible... I wasn't really sure which would be more..Originally posted by: bernse
Oh heck. Kvaerner is right. You could probably use darn near anything... whatever is cheapest and physically have the room for. If width is an issue (You seemed to imply that 3/4" wide hub for the sprocket was too big?) then an A plate sprocket probably will be the narrowest way to go. But, a single 4L/A belt should be fine for you... espescially if it's going to be a fairly large sheave and have the width.

Carpet burnouts! LOL
Well if you choose to make a rider be careful where you race especially indoors!
Don't want anything to happen like this!
