About this generator

The Timing Pulley and Sprocket Generator is one of the free customizers in OwlCAD, a browser-based parametric CAD tool. It makes either a timing-belt pulley (GT2-2M, GT2-3M, GT2-5M or HTD-3M, with optional guide flanges) or a roller-chain sprocket (ANSI #25 to #60).

You pick the standard by name, not by pitch, because pitch alone identifies neither a belt nor a chain: #40 and #41 chain both have a 12.7 mm pitch but different rollers. The name sets the pitch, outside diameter, groove depth and roller seat together. You then set the tooth count (8 to 120), the bore and the width. It pairs with OwlCAD's timing belt generator at the same profile.

It runs in the browser with no account and costs nothing; only OwlCAD's AI features are paid. It is one of 35 free OwlCAD customizers, and you can open the result in the full editor if you want to change more. Its terms give you full commercial rights to what you make, the free plan included.
