One of Gates core advantages is the breadth and adaptability of our polyurethane belt portfolio. Our extensive selection of solutions continuously evolves to address the changing demands of the market, ensuring that your business is equipped with the optimal tools for each unique application.
Does your application demand polyurethane belts tailored for specific performance needs? Gates offers an extensive selection of over 30 unique co-extruded and post-laminated backings to tackle even the toughest requirements, including optimized friction, chemical resistance, and static conductivity. We also offer a range of specialized surface finishes—from precision-ground edges and surfaces to tight tolerances, to punching, slotting, and CNC machining of three-dimensional contours—so you can trust Gates for the customized solution you need.
Our extensive line of low-stretch flat polyurethane belts delivers high performance in lifting and positioning applications. Handling heavy loads with smooth, vibration-free motion, our polyurethane Synchro-Power flat belts are steel-reinforced for superior tensile strength and stiffness, and have sealed edges to eliminate fraying and increase resistance to corrosion for longer belt life.
Often used when precise product positioning or extra belt width is required, polyurethane Synchro-Power Wide belts are ideal for synchronous conveying, rapid indexing, and automated processing. Built to handle bulk, their uniform tension and parallel cord construction enables increased production speed and better tracking, while eliminating exposed cord.
Profile belts can be customized with welded profiles to meet your specific application requirements. Over 2,000 polyurethane belt profile designs are already available from our extensive inventory, but if none of these fit, our application engineers will help you to design new, custom-built profiles from tough polyurethane that will become an integral part of the belt through thermal bonding.
For high speed and durable live roller belt solutions, you can rely on synchronous belts, which guarantee 100% reliability under the most diverse circumstances. The Gates LRB-45 Live Roller Drive Belt offers a high-friction, knurled diamond pattern for less slippage on top, while the low friction fabric on the bottom prevents static buildup. Incorporating aramid cord ensures lower stretch and longer life compared to other belts.
Designed to meet the exacting requirements of high speed, zero-pressure accumulation conveyors, the Gates LRB-77 live roller belt has been proven to deliver excellent performance for almost a decade. The integrated V-guide for the pressure roller groove ensures an accurate fit and proper belt tracking, while abrasion-resistant and long-life polyurethane provides drive force to the carrier rollers, and aramid tensile members maintain proper tension.
Whatever your industry, we have the solution. See how we can help you take your operation to new levels of productivity and excellence.
