The Gates GT®3 timing belt is a 2 mm pitch, 9 mm wide, single-sided neoprene belt with fiberglass reinforcement, designed for precision power transmission. It has 239 teeth and a pitch length of 478 mm (18.819 in), suitable for direct replacement of GT®2 belts. Operating temperature ranges from -30°C to +100°C, with a working tension of 734 N for 25.4 mm width; belt width proportions scale accordingly. The belt construction includes nylon-covered neoprene and fiberglass cords for enhanced load capacity and reduced noise.
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.
