This paper uses finite element analysis to analyze the equivalent stress and fatigue duration distributed in the timing belt pulley of the rotating part. The pulley structure used for analysis was categorized into one body type and separate axis type and their characteristics were analyzed when materials S45C and SCM440-870C were applied. A static structural analysis and durability analysis show that when external forces are applied to the pulley, the separate axis structure is structurally safer and more favorable in terms of fatigue, compared to the one body. In addition, the separate axis structure using SCM440-870C material was found to have the best safety factor at 10.4 and infinite fatigue life. These findings are expected to be useful when manufacturing timing belt pulleys.
