GT®3 timing belts are synchronous drive belts with a 2 mm pitch, constructed of neoprene with nylon covering and fiberglass reinforcement for enhanced load-bearing capacity. They are available in widths of 3 mm, 6 mm, and 9 mm and operate within a temperature range of -30°C to +100°C. The belts feature improved registration and reduced noise compared to prior models and are direct replacements for GT®2 belts. The breaking strength is specified at 93 N per 1 mm of belt width, with a working tension of 734 N for a 25.4 mm wide belt. The metric design includes standardized groove counts and pitch lengths, with belt lengths selectable from a range of groove numbers between 29 and 915.
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.
