Overview
The Gates 24008M20 is a synchronous timing belt engineered for industrial power transmission applications. The Gates PowerGrip is a toothed timing belt, also known as a synchronous belt or camshaft belt, for lightweight, compact drives. This belt is built to deliver consistent, slip-free operation across a range of industrial machinery and equipment.
Key Features
- Made of neoprene for resistance to dirt, grease, oil, and moisture, with fiberglass tensile cords for strength, durability, and resistance to elongation and a nylon tooth facing for quieter operation and resistance to wear.
- Gates’ patented tooth profile is designed for use with a specific sprocket groove profile, with the sprocket groove–belt tooth combination increasing load capacity while improving registration.
- Unlike roller chain drives, this belt eliminates the need for lubrication and re-tensioning, thereby reducing maintenance.
- The belts require minimal re-tensioning and maintenance, no lubrication, and provide quiet operation.
