The Gates 8MGT-1792-36 Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™ Synchronous Belt is engineered for high-performance power transmission applications, offering exceptional strength, durability, and efficiency. Key Features Durable Construction: Crafted from a high-temperature polyurethane compound, this belt resists chemicals, oil, pollutants, and abrasion, ensuring longevity in demanding environments. High Tensile Strength: Incorporating robust carbon fiber tensile cords, the belt provides minimal stretch and extraordinary load-carrying capacity, effectively absorbing shock and surge loads. Maintenance-Free Operation: The nylon tooth facing reduces friction, eliminating the need for lubrication and re-tensioning, thereby reducing maintenance and labor costs. Enhanced Load Capacity: The patented curvilinear tooth profile offers high shear strength and improved load-carrying capacity, making it suitable for high-torque, low-speed drives. Temperature Resilience: Operational in extreme temperatures ranging from -65°F to +185°F (-54°C to +85°C), accommodating a wide range of industrial applications. Specifications Pitch Length: 1792 mm (70.55 inches) Width: 36 mm (1.417 inches) Pitch: 8 mm Number of Teeth: 224 Belt Height: 5.9 mm (0.233 inches) Tooth Height: 3.4 mm (0.135 inches) Weight: Approximately 1.60 lbs Applications This synchronous belt is ideal for replacing roller chain drives in various industrial markets. Its narrow width minimizes reducer overhung loads, and the left-justified hubs on Poly Chain® GT®2 sprockets accommodate short shaft lengths, making it suitable for compact drive systems. Advantages Energy Efficiency: Achieves up to 99% efficiency for the life of the drive, offering energy savings over traditional V-belts. Compact Design: Provides equivalent capacity to roller chain drives in the same width, allowing for more compact and lightweight drive systems. Quiet Operation: Operates more quietly than roller chain drives, contributing to a better working environment. Cost Savings: The maintenance-free design reduces downtime and maintenance costs, offering a fast return on investment when converting from roller chain drives. The Gates 8MGT-1792-36 Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™ Synchronous Belt combines advanced materials and design to deliver a high-capacity, maintenance-free solution for demanding power transmission applications.
