Introduction – PowerGrip ® GT ® <strong>Belt</strong> <strong>Drives</strong><br />
The choice of the industry for ultimate<br />
durability and precision<br />
Finally, a synchronous belt that fits in all those tight,<br />
hard to fit applications with room to spare.<br />
The Gates PowerGrip GT combines the very best in<br />
technology and construction design to give you<br />
improved performance and extended product life.<br />
Last longer than competitive belts<br />
The PowerGrip GT belt has been tested against the<br />
competition, under equivalent conditions, at speeds<br />
up to 9,000 RPM. It outlasted the competition more<br />
than two to one. Strong fiberglass tensile cords<br />
wrapped in a durable neoprene body gives it<br />
flexibility and increases service life. A deep tooth<br />
profile provides superior load-carrying strength and<br />
greatly reduces ratcheting when used with Gates<br />
designed sprockets.<br />
Precision registration<br />
PowerGrip GT belts provide timing and<br />
synchronization accuracy that make for flawless<br />
registration, with no loss of torque carrying<br />
capability.<br />
Increases load-carrying capacity<br />
Load capacities far exceed HTD and trapezoidal belt<br />
capabilities making PowerGrip GT belts the choice<br />
for accurate registration, heavy loads and small<br />
sprockets. Smaller, yet tougher than HTD or<br />
trapezoidal belts, PowerGrip GT belts give engineers<br />
more space-saving flexibility for the age of microtechnology.<br />
Sounds this quiet…<br />
The PowerGrip GT belt’s specially engineered teeth<br />
mesh cleanly with sprocket grooves to reduce noise<br />
and vibration. Clean meshing and reduced belt<br />
width results in significant noise reduction when<br />
compared to PowerGrip Timing and HTD belts.<br />
When precision is critical, depend on<br />
PowerGrip GT belts<br />
PowerGrip GT belts are specifically designed for<br />
applications where precision is critical. Applications<br />
such as computer printers and plotters, laboratory<br />
and machine tools. We offer belts in a variety of<br />
sizes… custom-built constructions are also<br />
available for individual applications that require<br />
maximum performance. Gates’ worldwide<br />
manufacturing capabilities assure you of prompt<br />
service for important markets.<br />
PowerGrip GT belts are currently available in 2mm,<br />
3mm and 5mm pitches.<br />
