Abstract: A method for the production of a toothed belt pulley made of metal without machining which is provided at lateral sides with annular flanges which protrude above the height of the teeth comprising initially shaping one of the two flanges as an axially extending collar with an outside diameter equal to or less than the diameter of the pitch circle of the teeth and then radially flanging the said collar to the outside to form the second annular flange and the pulley formed thereby.STATE OF THE ARTToothed belt pulleys are known and are used, for example, for the camshaft drive in internal combustion engines but the known pulleys have a rather complicated construction. One known pulley consists of a solid massive hub or nave which is produced on a metal lathe to which are connected three sheet metal parts forming the outer circle track with flanges on either side as well as the area connecting the circle track with the nave.
