    POLY CHAIN®:
    THE MOST ADVANCED BELT IN THE WORLD

    Quiet, lightweight, and clean-running, the hard-wearing Gates® Poly Chain family is renowned for its extraordinary strength and load-carrying capacity. Incorporating either aramid or Gates patented carbon fiber tensile cords for minimal stretch, Poly Chain belts have a curvilinear tooth profile that increases shear strength. A nonslip nylon tooth facing reduces friction and eliminates the need for lubrication.

     

    EXPLORE POLY CHAIN BELT TECHNOLOGY

    POLY CHAIN GT™ CARBON™ 

    Designed to handle longer center distances at high load-carrying capacities, Gates Poly Chain GT Carbon synchronous belts deliver outstanding performance and excellent savings across a range of applications. Carbon fiber tensile cords provide increased horsepower and compactness. The durable polyurethane construction resists chemicals, oil, and abrasion for a long-lasting, maintenance-free system.

    POWERGRIP™ GT™4

    The latest in industrial rubber synchronous technology from Gates, PowerGrip GT4 is the ethylene elastomer high-torque belt that drives the highest power-carrying capacity of any belt in its class. It elevates efficiency in narrower drives. And with no lubrication or re-tensioning necessary, there’s no need for maintenance — improving your uptime and productivity.

    POWERGRIP GT™2 TWIN POWER™

    Gates PowerGrip GT2 Twin Power belts are double-sided, transmitting 100% of the maximum rated load from either side, and enabling synchronisation from both drive surfaces. The large tooth profile increases performance capacity, handles high speeds, and withstands extreme temperatures from -22°F to 212°F (-30°C to 100°C).

    UNCHAIN YOUR POTENTIAL WITH GATES HIGH-PERFORMANCE SYNCHRONOUS BELTS

    Watch a 3/4 inch belt lift an 8,800lb skid steer. Gates + materials science + process engineering = innovative solutions, even in the most demanding conditions.

    INDUSTRIAL SYNCHRONOUS BELTS APPLICATIONS

    FOOD & BEVERAGE

     

    Powerful yet lightweight, Gates synchronous belt solutions are engineered to reduce maintenance, decrease contamination risk, and improve performance. Our rust-free, non-stretch PowerGrip GT4 is the only synchronous belt made of ethylene elastomer with a temperature tolerance of up to 284°F (140°C) during intermittent use.

    HVAC 

     

    The efficiency and reliability of Gates synchronous belts will make a positive difference to your operating environment. Our heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions minimize downtime, lower energy consumption, and reduce maintenance costs. 

    PULP & PAPER

     

    Gates PowerGrip GT4 delivers the highest power-carrying capacity of any belt in its class and is the optimum choice for high-performance drives in the pulp and paper industry, where durability and low maintenance are essential. Not only does it deliver the highest power-carrying capacity of any belt in its class but also handles intermittent use at extreme temperatures from -40°F to 284°F (-40°C to 140°C).

    FORESTRY & LUMBER

     

    Unlike roller chain, Gates Poly Chain belts need no maintenance, re-tensioning, or lubrication. Durable and incredibly strong, they’re ideal for forestry and sawmill applications such as debarkers, saws, conveyors, planers, and stackers. The nonslip design maintains speed and saves energy, and Poly Chain withstands wide-ranging temperatures.

    AGRICULTURE

     

    Designed for demanding drives, Gates synchronous belts for agriculture deliver superior performance in heavy conditions and harsh environments. They can handle exposure to dust, dirt, and stones, as well as additional load caused by small tensioners. With Gates, you can dependably power your farm equipment through every season.
