5LS197.6
The 5LS197.6 timing belt from B & R Automation, part of the 5LS Logic Scanner Cards series, is engineered to deliver precise synchronous motion in high-performance industrial applications. This belt features a belt type of Timing Belt with a tooth profile of LS (Linear Synchronous) and a pitch length of 197.6 mm, providing superior engagement accuracy. Constructed from high-durability rubber material with options for fiberglass or steel cord reinforcement as the tensile member, the design balances flexibility with tensile strength. The belt width of 5 mm ensures compatibility with compact drives and minimizes system footprint. Compliant with DIN/ISO standards for synchronous belts, the 5LS197.6 meets rigorous industry requirements for timing belt performance and interchangeability.
Performance characteristics focus on longevity and stability across a wide range of conditions. The belt exhibits antistatic properties to minimize particulate attraction and potential electrical interference, supporting cleanroom and electronics assembly environments. Its oil resistance is classified as Moderate, enabling reliable operation in applications exposed to light lubricants and processing oils. Designed for an ambient temperature range of -20°C to +80°C, the belt maintains dimensional stability and tooth engagement under thermal cycling. The dual options for tensile member—steel or fiberglass cord—offer tailored solutions for either maximum strength or reduced weight, while the LS tooth profile ensures smooth power transmission with low backlash. Adherence to DIN/ISO standards further verifies uniform tooth geometry and material consistency between production batches.
Reliability and integration are central to the 5LS197.6’s appeal in demanding automation setups. The belt’s robust rubber compound and cord reinforcement resist wear and elongation, delivering a predictable service life with minimal maintenance. Compact dimensions and standardized profile allow seamless retrofitting into existing pulley systems and logic scanner card assemblies without custom tooling. Applied in robotics pick-and-place units, packaging machines, and conveyor indexing mechanisms, the belt supports precise positioning and timing functions. End users benefit from the belt’s consistent performance in temperature extremes and its compatibility with standard drive pulleys, simplifying system design and spare parts management.
