The Gates GT®3 timing belt is a 2 mm pitch, 6 mm wide, single-sided neoprene belt with fiberglass reinforcement, designed for precision power transmission. It has 150 teeth, corresponding to a pitch length of 300 mm, and is a direct replacement for GT®2 belts. The belt operates within a temperature range of -30°C to +100°C and has a working tension of 734 N for a 25.4 mm width; this value scales proportionally for narrower widths. The construction combines neoprene with nylon covering and fiberglass cords for improved load capacity and reduced noise. It features enhanced registration and is available in cut-to-size widths from sleeves.
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.
