Abstract
This chapter contains self-explanatory information for the user of timing belt applications, depicting a variety of solutions with integrated belt/drive layouts. It is often the case that real-life proven models provide the basic elements for new concepts, which can then be transferred and adapted to the task in hand. In particular, this allows the technical and creative potential of designers to be addressed, as they think in images and spatial structures which are then implemented. The combination of two or more known designs can be developed into innovative new solutions and existing examples borrowed from other sources can reduce the possible work load substantially.

Notes
- 1.
A special feature of angle drives is that the belt always tries to take the shortest possible route within its drive layout and thus it positions itself independently on the pulleys without run-off. However, deviations can arise from the theoretical line in practical applications as a result of tolerances in the belt and pulleys as well as by tolerances when assembling. Thus, flanged pulley belt guidance for drives of this kind is quite usual, see Chapter 2.10. Side guides ultimately facilitate the installation and tensioning of belt for use and handling.
