AT5 pulleys with set screws in heat-set inserts

For a linear axis that gets adjusted often: AT5's stiff belt, with M4 set screws running in heat-set inserts so the threads survive, and a spoked 36-tooth pulley.

Build it with your AI

Using the CheapCAD Tools connector, design a two-pulley timing belt drive: AT5 belt, about 140 mm between centres, M4 set screws in heat-set inserts on both hubs. Pulley 1: 24 teeth, 8 mm bore, a hub 22 mm across and 9 mm tall. Pulley 2: 36 teeth, 10 mm bore, a hub 24 mm across and 9 mm tall, 5 spokes around a 24 mm spoke hub with a 5 mm rim under the teeth, and printed flanges whose top flange is a separate part held on by 12 gluing nubs. Check the design, apply any Auto-fix it suggests, then export both pulleys as STL and give me the download link.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or any AI app with the CheapCAD Tools connector, and it designs this drive with you, checks it and hands you the files. How to connect your AI.

What's in this design

The drive

  • AT5 belt, 10 mm wide, 87 teeth (435 mm long)
  • Centre distance 142.18 mm; ratio 24 : 36 (1 : 1.5)

Pulley 1

  • 24 teeth
  • 8 mm round bore
  • Hub Ø22 × 9 mm, two M4 set screws in heat-set inserts

Pulley 2

  • 36 teeth
  • 10 mm round bore
  • Hub Ø24 × 9 mm, two M4 set screws in heat-set inserts
  • 5 spokes, 4 mm wide, under a 5 mm deep rim
  • Printed flanges, 1.5 mm thick, reaching 3 mm past the teeth; the top flange prints separately and locates on 12 alignment nubs
