GATES POLY CHAIN® GT2

POLYURETHANE SYNCHRONOUS BELT WITH OPTIMISED CURVILINEAR GT TOOTH PROFILE

Gates Logo

Poly Chain® GT2 has been designed for optimum performance on high torque, low speed drives in any industrial application. This lightweight belt features increased power ratings of up to 40% higher than previous constructions while maintaining the same long service life. Poly Chain® GT2 operates on Poly Chain® GT pulleys. These belts make an excellent alternative to roller chains, requiring neither re-tensioning nor lubrication. Space-saving, weight-saving and money-saving, Poly Chain® GT2 drives offer a long and reliable service life.

CONSTRUCTION

  • Teeth and body are made of a lightweight polyurethane compound, specially blended for adhesion to the cords and fabric. This uniquely
    formulated polyurethane makes the belt tough and virtually immune to abrasion and chemicals.
  • The aramid tensile cords provide extraordinary power-carrying capacity.
  • Flex fatigue life of aramid is exceptional, and its high impact strength withstands shocks and surge loading.
  • The fabric covering the teeth is highly resistant to oil, chemicals, pollutants, corrosion and abrasion. It is exceptionally durable and remains fully operational.
  • The fabric facing reduces friction with the pulley, thereby minimising temperature build-up.
  • Standard widths of 12, 21, 36, 62 mm (8MGT); and 20, 37, 68, 90, 125 mm (14MGT).

BENEFITS

  • Substantially increased power rating.
  • High efficiency positive drive.
  • Maintenance-free: no lubrication or re-tensioning needed.
  • Savings in space, weight and money.
  • Temperatures range: -54°C to +85°C.
  • Perfect fit on Poly Chain® GT profile pulleys.
  • On demand available in PowerPainT™ construction, to eliminate paint contamination risk (see p. 40).
