The Gates GT®3 timing belt is a 2 mm pitch, 3 mm wide, single-sided synchronous belt made of neoprene with nylon covering and fiberglass reinforcement, designed for power transmission in precision applications. It has 59 teeth and a pitch length of 118 mm (4.646 in.), with an operating temperature range of -30°C to +100°C and a working tension of 734 N for a 25.4 mm belt width. The belt is described as a direct replacement for GT®2 belts and features improved load capacity and reduced noise. The part number format A36R51M corresponds to a 3 mm width, 59 teeth, and metric profile, consistent with the 059 code listed in the specification tables.
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.
