Overview
The Gates 8MGT-1792-36 Poly Chain GT Carbon synchronous belt is a high-performance timing belt engineered for industrial power transmission applications. This belt combines carbon reinforced tensile cords with durable polyurethane construction to deliver superior load-carrying capacity, minimal stretch, and extended service life compared to traditional roller chain drives. New in box condition ensures immediate deployment in machine tool, compact drive, and low-speed high-torque applications.
Key Features
- Carbon Fiber Tensile Cords: Patented carbon fiber as the tensile cord provides increased horsepower rating for greater power density and compactness and increased flexibility, allowing the use of backside idlers
- Curvilinear Tooth Profile: Gates curvilinear tooth profile provides high shear strength, noise reduction, and improved load carrying capacity
- Durable Polyurethane Construction: Durable polyurethane construction resists chemicals, oil, pollutants, and abrasion
- Self-Lubricating Nylon Facing: Nylon tooth facing reduces friction and eliminates the need for lubrication
- Extreme Temperature Rating: Fully operational in temperature extremes of -54°C to +85°C (-65°F to +185°F)
- Roller Chain Replacement: Gates Poly Chain GT Carbon synchronous belts have a renowned industry reputation for high performance and huge cost savings in a range of applications, designed to handle longer center distances at high load-carrying capacities
Technical Specifications
This synchronous belt is engineered to exact tolerances for precision power transmission in critical industrial environments.
Typical Applications
Poly Chain GT Carbon 8MGT belts are ideally suited for use in machine tool, roller chain, small conveyors and compact drives where space is a problem. Maintenance engineers specify this belt for retrofit conversions from roller chain systems, food processing equipment, textile machinery, packaging lines, and compact industrial drives requiring lightweight construction and zero lubrication requirements.
