Makers, engineers, and small-batch manufacturers who rely on belt-driven motion systems need pulleys that hold tight tolerances run after run — whether on a desktop 3D printer, a laser engraver, or a custom robotics platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThese 2GT timing belt pulleys are machined from aluminium alloy with a GT2 tooth profile (2 mm pitch). Available in tooth counts from 16T to 40T and bore diameters from 3.17 mm (1\/8 in) to 12 mm (approximately 0.47 in), each pulley ships with set-screw retention to lock firmly onto motor shafts. The lightweight aluminium construction keeps rotational inertia low while providing the rigidity needed for repeatable positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTypical use cases include NEMA 17 stepper motor drives on FDM 3D printers, X\/Y axis belt drives on CoreXY and Cartesian machines, extruder gear trains requiring a 2GT belt interface, and light-duty CNC router or laser cutter motion systems where GT2 belt-driven linear positioning is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e⚙️\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with:\u003c\/strong\u003e GT2 \/ 2GT timing belts (2 mm pitch) — 6 mm belt width standard.
