Note: If the number of meshing teeth between the belt and pulley does not meet the following conditions, reconsider the layout.
- - For prime mover pulleys, the meshing angle must be 120° or more and the number of meshing teeth must be 6 or more.
- - For driven pulleys, the meshing angle must be 90° or more and the number of meshing teeth must be 6 or more.
