Long Length belting is a special alternative to the timing chain for reversing positioning drives.

Open-end synchronous belting is suitable for linear movements (automated doors, automated warehouse conveyors and elevators), accurate positioning (machine tools, x-y coordinate machines) and reversal drives (computers, printers and office equipment).

Gates Long Length belting is available in various sizes, constructions and tooth designs to cover a wide range of loads, speeds and applications.

Identification

Three part number on the back of the belt indicating product designation, pitch code and belt width.

Construction

PowerGrip GT 3MR, 5MR and 8MR pitches
PowerGrip HTD 3M, 5M, 8M and 14M pitches
PowerGrip XL, L and H pitches

• Fibreglass or steel tensile cords.
• Rubber teeth and backing.
• Nylon facing.

Poly Chain 8MGT and 14MGT pitches

• Aramid tensile cord.
• Polyurethane teeth and backing.
• Fabric reinforced teeth.

Advantages

• High positioning accuracy, making the belt ideally suited for applications with repetitive movements.
• High power transmission due to the use of sophisticated materials and tooth profiles.
• Positive power transmission with low axial load.
• Length stability due to the use of high modulus tensile members.
• Easy to attach with clamping fixtures.
• Low maintenance.
• No environmental pollution due to lubricants.
