Gates Poly Chain GT2 has been designed for optimum performance also 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 (Poly Chain GT), while maintaining the same long service life. Gates Poly Chain GT2 operates on Poly Chain GT pulleys. Its construction is based on innovative state-of-the-art design.
The body and teeth of the belt are made of a unique polyurethane compound, making the belt tough and virtually immune to abrasion and chemical attack. Poly Chain GT2 belts make an excellent alternative to roller chains, requiring neither re-tensioning nor lubrication. Space-saving, weight-saving and money-saving, Gates Poly Chain GT2 drives offer a long and reliable service life.
Identification
Three part number on the back of the belt indicating pitch code, pitch length and width.
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 under extreme temperatures from -54°C up to +85°C.
The fabric facing reduces friction with the pulley, thereby minimising temperature build-up.
Advantages
Substantially increased power rating.
High efficiency positive drive.
Maintenance-free: no lubrication or re-tensioning needed.
Savings in space, weight and money
