Thread: Belt drive and pulley sizes

Hello,
I'm in the process of designing my 2nd machine which uses belts and pulleys for linear drive. There is an RS-Online Philippines where I conveniently shop but the more I browse the more I get confused about the different widths and sizes. I plan to use 10 tooth 5 mm pitch, 16mm hub width pulleys. One spec sheet that I downloaded suggested using T5 10mm belt. Is that the common practice? Wont the belt "dance" in the extra space in the hub? Will two 1500mm T5 10mm belts be strong enough for an X axis length of 54"?
And lacking actual pictures how does one secure the pulleys to the shaft?
Thanks a lot or your patience.
Jordan
