Indeed! Poly-Vee belts are acceptably quiet but of course then you need to rig an encoder. Probably a decent trade  off.  Available, not too expensive, transfer power well and seem to last. Years ago I made both of my pulleys. Dave On 7/4/22 10:05 AM, andy pugh wrote: On Mon, 4 Jul 2022 at

You need t take several steps 1) verify the belt and pulleys have the same tooth profile. They need to match exactly. 2) if the profile is "square teeth" then yes, these are noisy. Decide if you want to spend the $$ to change the profile because no amount of adjustment will make a square tooth

Regarding belt tension. Goal is to get engagement with the minimum amount of tension. This ensures the bearings on motor and driven pulley shafts are not overloaded. I work with very large bearing and or bushed machines. (Crushing equipment). Standard rule of thumb is 1/64” of deflection per

If it quiets down with pressure applied to the back of the belt, something like this might do the trick. NewYall Serpentine Accessory - Tensor de correa | | | | | | | | | | | NewYall Serpentine Accessory - Tensor de correa Tensor de correa de transmisión de accesorios serpentina |

I have managed to get two AMC 30A20 servo amps on eBay, one relatively cheap, the other somewhat expensive.  Now, I need a 3rd.  These are 30A peak 15 A continuous, up to 180 V DC input. These match the current specs of the NC400's that came with the machine.  But, for the Z axis, maybe less
