Innovative, patented leak proof seal:
Gates unique "C" insert allows usage with different constructions and wall thickness, ensuring an even distribution of crimping forces to form a concentric seal.
Engineered to address evolving application challenges, meeting and exceeding multiple industry requirements and setting new standards for hydraulic hoses and couplings. Hydraulic hoses that are lighter, stronger, and more flexible than conventional hoses.
Tube Fittings with patented technology that deliver exceptional reliability and safety in extreme conditions. Continuous testing, system validation, and "made in Germany" quality ensures that these products not only meet, but exceed, performance specifications, making them exceptionally durable and high performing, even in critical applications.
Precise Performance:
Advanced high tensile strength material for reliable and efficient operations. Parallel cord construction for uniform tensioning and smooth, low-noise operation.
Superior performance in every application:
Long lasting durability with excellent resistance to oil, chemical and water contact. No lubrication or maintenance required reducing downtime and increasing uptime.
Available in various pitches, constructions, and tooth shapes, catering to a wide range of applications, these high-strength belts are suitable for power transmission, timing and linear applications. Lifting, pulling, and heavy load conveying, with customisation options available for diverse market needs, providing long-lasting solutions for demanding industries and applications.
Exceptional engineering:
