Gates Synchronous Belts
Did you know that Gates synchronous belts deliver performance and power, energy efficiency and reduced maintenance for a world of applications?
They deliver:
• High horsepower and torque-carrying capacity
• Low noise and vibration with narrower drive designs
• Accurate registration
• No maintenance or equipment downtime
• Excellent abrasion resistance
• Long life
Whatever tooth profile, pitch, length, construction and hardware you need, you’ll find your fit. Gates synchronous product offerings include:
• Gates PowerGrip® synchronous belts: PowerGrip® GT®2 belts provide high load-carrying capacity, allowing smaller, more compact drive designs. They are also available as Twin Power® belts, which deliver equal load-carrying capacity from both sides, and Long Length, for linear movement, reversing drives and conveying applications.
• Poly Chain® GT® Carbon™ synchronous belts: There’s nothing stronger. The carbon fiber tensile cord construction accommodates the use of Gates heavy-duty backside idlers and reduces stretch on drive systems used in low-speed, high-torque applications, making it the ideal roller chain alternative. They are also available in Extended Lengths with 8mm or 14mm profiles.
