    FEATURES
    AND TRAINING

     

    In addition to the user-friendly functionality of each of the specialized design modules, Design Power features a state-of-the-art knowledge base with design guidance and the most sophisticated belt-performance models. Automatic synching with the Gates catalog streamlines and empowers the design process with direct access to the latest products, specifications, ratings, and pricing. Design Power also adds new organizational features on par with the best digital collaboration tools, holding multiple designs in a single project file, tracking design derivatives and iterations, and noting who made what changes along the way.

     

    Gates Design Power software is available globally as a free download in 15 different languages.

    DESIGN FLEX PRO

    DESIGN IQ

    DESIGN LIBRARY

    Create custom synchronous or V-belt drive systems with ease and precision that meet your unique industrial requirements with our advanced design software. Save time and money with automatic translations and easily print, email, or save your design specifications in PDF format.

     

    In addition to designing belt drives, use Design Flex Pro to:

     

    • Determine proper belt installation tension.
    • Calculate belt pull.
    • Determine belt power transmission capacity.
    • Estimate the energy savings of a synchronous belt drive compared to a V-belt drive.
    • Estimate the cost savings of replacing roller chain with a synchronous belt drive.

    Design multi-point and complex serpentine belt drives for your specific application. Our downloadable engineering software lets you design for stock and nonstock lengths and pulley sizes, with customized sprockets and conditions. Simply identify a specific Gates product, enter your drive specifications, and Gates Design IQ will calculate belt tension, shaft load, and belt length for you.

     

    In addition to designing belt drives, use Design IQ to:

     

    • Calculate belt tension, belt length, shaft load, and more.
    • Recommend installation tension.
    • Offer drive geometry output.
    • Point out principal contributing factors to fatigue.
    • Calculate belt widths or number of strands.

     

    The design library feature allows you to easily create derivatives of a drive design, lock individual designs (like the original) so it can’t be changed, track what changes have been made and by what users, and set a particular design as the master version.  This makes it significantly easier to capture the evolution of a design as inputs or requirements change or work is being done collaboratively amongst colleagues.
