Overview
The Gates 8MGT-1760-36 Poly Chain GT Carbon synchronous belt delivers reliable power transmission for industrial machinery requiring high torque at low speeds. This synchronous belt measures 36 mm width, 1760 mm overall length, with 8 mm pitch and 220 teeth. The belt uses original Poly Chain GT Carbon construction designed for optimum performance on high torque, low speed drives, making it ideal for compact drive systems where space and maintenance costs matter.
Key Features
- Carbon fiber tensile cord provides increased horsepower rating for greater power density and compactness, plus increased flexibility allowing backside idlers
- Durable polyurethane construction resists chemicals, oil, pollutants and abrasion
- Nylon tooth facing reduces friction and eliminates the need for lubrication
- Patented curvilinear tooth profile provides high shear strength and improved load carrying capacity
- Lubrication, re-tensioning and maintenance free
- Ideally suited for machine tool, roller chain replacement, small conveyors and compact drives
