V-BELTS
V-belts are essential power transmission components in industrial applications throughout the world. Excessive belt slippage, stretching, and wear can result in big problems for facilities - with disproportionate resources spent re-tensioning, maintaining, and replacing under-performing belts.
Gates offers high-performance v-belts engineered to save energy, minimise maintenance, and have a longer lifespan than competitive belts.
TRI-POWER™ & QUAD-POWER™ 4 MOULDED NOTCH V-BELTS
Raw machined belt edges provide even sheave groove contact, resulting in a 3% efficiency increase over wrapped v-belts. Specially designed moulded notches dissipate heat better than standard v-belts and are engineered to increase flexibility for improved energy efficiency.
FEATURES:
- Ethylene Elastomer construction ensures efficient operation at high ambient temperatures
- Raw machined belt edge provides even sheave groove contact, resulting in smoother running and less slip and wear
- Flex-bonded cords are forged to the belt body, providing a 15% capacity increase over wrapped belts and resulting in equal load distribution and absorption of bending stress without cord deterioration
- Both belts meet IP-3-3 static conductivity requirements
SYNCHRONOUS BELTS & METAL PARTS
Switching from a competitive v-belt to Gates PowerGrip™ GT4™ or Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™ results in a minimum of 5% increase in efficiency! In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy has calculated that American businesses could realise $1.5 billion in energy savings annually, by simply converting existing V-belt drives to synchronous belt drives!
POLY CHAIN® GT™ CARBON™ BELTS & POLY CHAIN® SPROCKETS
Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™ is a power-dense synchronous belt that can fit into tight spaces, making it ideal for compact drives. It doesn’t require retensioning and lasts longer than competitive v-belts, for a significant decrease in maintenance and costly facility downtime. The durable polyurethane construction of Poly Chain GT Carbon resists chemicals, pollutants, and high ambient temperatures for a longer lifespan.
FEATURES:
- Sturdy carbon tensile cord provides high power density in a compact package while reducing stretch
- Operates at 99% efficiency, giving reliability over the life of the drive
- No retensioning needs eliminates most maintenance costs and safety risks
- Available as a system with Poly Chain sprockets, available in corrosion-resistant finishes
POWERGRIP™ GT 4™ BELTS & POWERGRIP™ SPROCKETS
Engineered with the latest materials science advancements, Gates® PowerGrip™ GT4™ delivers the highest power-carrying capacity of any belt in its
class, without sacrificing positional accuracy. Utilising a next-generation ethylene elastomer body and fibreglass tensile cord, Gates® designed a low-maintenance belt with a larger temperature range and longer service life, ideal for HVAC systems and other compact equipment exposed to tough environmental conditions.
PowerGrip™ GT4™ operates at 99% efficiency for the life of the drive, offering measurable energy savings compared to competitive v-belts.
FEATURES:
- Next-generation ethylene elastomer body with fibreglass tensile cord offers excellent flex life and high resistance to elongation
- High power-carrying capacity within narrow drives
- Operates at 99% efficiency for the life of the drive
- No retensioning needs eliminates most maintenance costs and safety risks
- Available as a system with PowerGrip™ sprockets, available in corrosion-resistant finishes
