PRODUCT OVERVIEW

PowerGrip^® GT^®2 belts offer industry leading performance over other rubber synchronous belts, at little additional cost. They offer:

• High horsepower and torque-carrying capacity
• Low noise and vibration with narrower drive designs
• Accurate registration
• No maintenance or equipment downtime
• Long life, excellent abrasion resistance

BUSINESS IMPACTING BENEFITS

More Power at a Lower Overall Cost

• Twice the HP capacity as HTD^®, GT and competitive RPP^® belts, allowing smaller, more compact drive designs
• Largest selection of belts and sprockets in the industry
• Ideal for new drive designs as well as replacement for older belt technology
• Fits HTD and RPP sprockets for easy replacement and simplified inventory

Reduced Vibration, Less Noise, Greater Accuracy

• Gates unique curvilinear tooth profile delivers smooth, quiet operation and precise registration
• Ideal for precision-critical applications, such as robotics, conveyors, machine tools

Tooth/Groove Contact Comparison:
PowerGrip GT2 Belt	HTD Belt	Timing Belt
Full contact between the PowerGrip GT2 belt tooth and sprocket groove improves resistance to ratcheting and backlash.

No maintenance

• Needs no lubrication or re-tensioning, as do roller chain drives
• Resistant to grime, grease, oil and moisture
• Trouble-free, extended life

TARGET MARKETS AND FOCUSED APPLICATIONS

The PowerGrip GT2 belt drive system is well-suited for applications that demand high load-carrying capacity, as well as precision indexing or registration. GT2 belt technology has delivered proven results for stringent, custom-designed drives for original equipment manufacturers, as well as in replacement markets.
