PRODUCT OVERVIEW

PowerGrip^® Twin Power^® belts have Gates tooth profiles on both sides, providing equal load carrying capacity. Power and synchronization is delivered from two, back-to-back driving surfaces. These belts offer a maintenance-free alternative to gears and roller chains for multi-point and reverse-rotation drives. Ideal for applications requiring synchronization from both sides of the belt, such as data storage, machine tools and industrial equipment.

BUSINESS IMPACTING BENEFITS

Double-Sided Power and Synchronization

• Manufactured with molded Gates tooth profiles (GT^®2, HTD^®, and Timing) on each side. Improves the durability, strength, and life of the belt, as compared with manually etching teeth after the belt is formed.
• Power and synchronization is delivered on both sides of the belt. Drive designers gain the flexibility to build multipoint drives, in unique configurations and sizes, which can replace maintenance-intensive gear and roller chain designs.
• Nylon facing on all tooth surfaces provides equal load carrying capabilities on either side of belt.

Maintenance-Free Alternative to Gears and Roller Chains

• Quieter than roller chain and gear drives
• No maintenance requirements, labor, messy lubrication, re-tensioning, or equipment downtime
• Fiberglass tensile cord provides high strength, excellent flex life, and high resistance to elongation.
• Neoprene body provides protection against grime, grease, oil and moisture.

TARGET MARKETS AND FOCUSED APPLICATIONS

• PowerGrip^® GT^®2 Twin Power belts are ideal for new drive designs of serpentine applications requiring rotation reversal or synchronization of driven shafts. Ideal for use in industries such as textile, paper, packaging and printing.
• PowerGrip^® HTD^® Twin Power belts are suitable for many applications including data storage, hand-held power tools, postage handling, food processors, office machines, centrifuges, money handling, medical diagnostic, ticket dispensers, robotics, vending machines and vacuum cleaners.
• PowerGrip^® Twin Power^® Timing Belts are suitable for all industrial serpentine applications requiring rotation reversal in some driven shafts.
