Gates 8MGT-720-12 Poly Chain GT 9274-0090

Description

Give yourself a competitive advantage by designing in the Gates Poly Chain GT Carbon drive system instead of roller chain in your next power transmission application.

Gates Poly Chain GT Carbon synchronous belts have a renowned industry reputation for high performance and huge cost savings in a range of applications, designed to handle longer center distances at high load-carrying capacities. Gates uses patented Carbon Fiber tensile cords for increased horsepower rating, compactness, and flexibility, while also allowing the use of backside idlers. When combined with Gates Poly Chain GT2 sprockets, you’ll have a lightweight, long-lasting, maintenance-free system that’s more than a match for roller chain.

Markets/Applications

All industrial markets; especially suited to replace roller chain drives. Narrow width minimizes reducer overhung loads and left-justified hubs on Poly Chain GT2 sprockets accommodate short shaft lengths.

Features/Advantages

• Maintenance-free, clean solution for roller chain drive conversion
  • Significantly reduces maintenance costs
  • Equivalent capacity to roller chain drives in the same width
  • Easy rust-free wash-down with Gates Stainless Steel hardware
  • Fast drive conversion payback
  • Quieter than roller chain drives
• Gates curvilinear tooth profile provides high shear strength, noise reduction, and improved load carrying capacity
• Robust carbon tensile cord combines minimal stretch with extraordinary strength and load carrying capacity, while absorbing shock and surge loads
• Durable polyurethane construction resists chemicals, oil, pollutants, and abrasion
• Nylon tooth facing reduces friction and eliminates the need for lubrication
• Fully operational in temperature extremes of -65 degrees F to +185 degrees F

Recommended Sprockets

• Poly Chain GT2 Sprockets, 8M and 14M
