Overview
The Gates 14MGT-2380-68 is a professional-grade Poly Chain GT Carbon synchronous belt designed for demanding industrial automation and power transmission applications. This synchronous timing belt features a 14MGT-pitch profile, manufactured by Gates Corporation. With 170 teeth, 14mm pitch, 68mm width, and 2380mm length, it is constructed with polyurethane body compound and carbon cord tensile members. This belt delivers consistent, maintenance-free operation across a wide range of industrial systems.
Key Features
- Modified curvilinear (GT) tooth profile for increased power capacity and improved tooth shear resistance
- Carbon tensile cord combines minimal stretch with extraordinary strength while absorbing shock and surge loads
- Nylon tooth facing reduces friction and eliminates the need for lubrication
- Inert to most acids, chemicals and water; no need for re-tensioning
- Carbon fiber tensile cord provides increased horsepower rating for greater power density and compactness
Technical Specifications
Temperature range: -20°F to 158°F (-29°C to 70°C). Operating temperature range extends to -54°C to +85°C for extended environmental performance. The belt is rated for positive drive applications with minimal maintenance requirements.
Typical Applications
This belt is suited for all industrial markets, especially suited to replace roller chain drives. Common applications include:
- Industrial automation and conveyor systems
- Motion control and robotic systems
- Compact drive systems requiring lightweight, efficient power transmission
- Replacement for roller chain drives in machinery
- High-load, long center-distance applications
