Gates GT®2 timing belts with 3 mm pitch, 188 teeth, and 15 mm width are neoprene belts with nylon covering and fiberglass reinforcement, designed for synchronous motion transmission. The belt operates within a temperature range of -30°C to +100°C and has a working tension of 507 N for a 25.4 mm width; breaking strength is 158 N per mm of belt width. Belt widths available include 6 mm, 9 mm, and 15 mm. Special widths can be cut from standard sleeves. GT®3 belts are direct replacements for GT®2 belts but are not available until GT®2 inventories are exhausted. The part is designed for use with matching timing pulleys in precision applications.
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.
