How do I make sure timing belt pulleys match up to the belt tooth spacing ? Is that called pitch ? The scenario I am thinking of is when I have a smaller pulley on a motor shaft, and a larger one on a wheel shaft, with a belt connecting the two and transferring power. Thanks !

Pitch is the center to center distance of the teeth. BTW the belts come in both curved tooth and trapazoidal tooth

So if I get 2 different diameter pulleys with the same pitch and type of teeth, the both should fit the same kind of belt, right ?
Various belt widths, also.
