I have a heavy load-bearing application with tight space requirements and need high power capacity in a compact package.
For extraordinary strength without maintenance limitations, try the Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™. This high power density belt utilizes carbon tensile cord to provide the same strength as roller chain, width-for-width, in a compact belt with no lubrication or retensioning needs. With 400% greater capacity than High Torque Drive (HTD) belts, Poly Chain is an in-demand solution for applications requiring high strength.
Comes in an extended length form
Robust carbon tensile cord combines
minimal stretch with extraordinary strength
Nylon tooth facing reduces friction and eliminates the need for lubrication

Custom solutions for any application
Gates thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) belts are highly customizable, allowing you to create the perfect solution for your unique needs. Like other Gates belt solutions, TPU belting is wear and abrasion-resistant and offers quiet performance, minimal maintenance, and a long lifespan. Not sure which solution is best for you? Work with product engineers to design the most efficient drive for your application.
Synchro-Power™ industrial belts can be used in light to heavy-load linear applications.
Synchro-Clean™ conveyor belts are specially designed to meet the needs of the food processing industry
Synchro-Power™ industrial belts can be used in light to heavy-load linear applications. Customization opportunities include thousands of profiles, dozens of backings, and a wide range of fabrication capabilities. Timing belt profiles can be molded in virtually any configuration for holding, pushing, lifting, or actuating, making these belts ideal for your assembly, packaging, inserting, and other industrial automation system requirements.
Synchro-Clean™ conveyor belts are specially designed to meet the needs of the food processing industry and are FDA and USDA-certified for direct contact with food and hygienic products. These reinforced urethane belts are available in positive-drive, center-drive/self-tracking, and flat belt options. Synchro-Clean products are also customizable, with multiple combinations of cleats and surface textures available.
