The Gates GT®3 timing belt is a 2 mm pitch, 9 mm wide, neoprene belt with nylon covering and fiberglass reinforcement designed for synchronous power transmission. It has 168 teeth with a pitch length of 336 mm (13.228 inches) and operates within a temperature range of -30°C to +100°C. The belt has a working tension of 734 N for 25.4 mm width and is a direct replacement for GT®2 belts. The construction provides improved load capacity, reduced noise, and enhanced registration. Belt width is 9 mm (0.354 in) and the part is a single-sided design compatible with standard GT®3 pulleys.
For power transmission applications, a belt and pulley drive system are one of the most common and cost-effective methods used to transfer motion in a drive system. synchronous timing belts, with their defined pattern and evenly spaced teeth, mate with matching timing belt pulleys and idlers to drive motion in precision equipment. When synchronization between shafts is not a priority, V- belts are an excellent alternative. V-belts ride in the groove of compatible V-belt pulleys and idlers. Flat belts find considerable usage in applications requiring small pulley diameters, high belt surface speeds, low noise levels, low weight, and inertia. Round belts or O-Rings are used with grooved pulleys. A cable drive system is another means of transmitting synchronous motion. Consisting of an extremely flexible cable and uniquely grooved pulleys, the Synchromesh Drive system offers design possibilities previously not achievable. Timing belt and cable accessories, belt tensioners and tension testers assist in the maintenance and operation of a belt drive system.
