A synchronous belt drive system comprising an obround sprocket (10) having a toothed surface and at least one linear portion (16) disposed between two arcuate portions (14,15), the arcuate portions having a constant radius (R1, R2), the linear portion having a predetermined length, a second sprocket (300) having a toothed surface, the second sprocket engaged to the obround sprocket by an endless toothed member (200), the second sprocket connected to a rotary load, the rotary load having cyclic torque fluctuations, and a radius (R1) of the obround sprocket (10) oriented at a belt entry point (201) which coincides with a maximum amplitude of a cyclic torque fluctuation such that a span length (SL) of the endless toothed member is made to vary in a manner that substantially cancels the cyclic torque fluctuations. |
