Linear Timing Belts

Gates TPU linear extruded flat belts offer various combinations of tensile member materials and several urethane grades, making our belts suited for a wide variety of lifting and pulling applications. This product line offers a range of belt sizes that can accommodate everything from small pulleys to high-load belts with extreme tensile strength and stiffness due to superior steel reinforcement.

Flat Belts

Gates TPU Wide Belts deliver the ideal solution for conveying applications wider than 150mm width including precise product positioning, even tension, and smooth-running operation. High strength aramid cords even belt tension for the belt to run smoothly while high-strength polyurethane is cut-resistant and nonmarking – an ideal belt for abrasive environments. Our clean, abrasion-resistant, and smooth drive wide belts offer easy replacement of both plastic modular and conveyor belting. Widths up to 450mm No cord exposure along belt edges Low-noise, smooth operation High acceleration without slipping Available for direct food contact meeting FDA/EU regulations Custom fabrications with engineering support

Wide Belts

DON’T WASH DOWN PROFITS. Gates TPU food belts are easy to clean solutions for your food processing facility. One meat processing facility saved thousands of dollars in operating costs by replacing the plastic modular belts with Gates TPU food belts. Cleaning time in their facility was reduced by 30 minutes per day, increasing production by $4.5 million a year.

FOOD BELTING

Food Belts

Gates TPU Linear Timing Belts provide exceptional performance in conveying and precision motion control applications. We offer two potential constructions to meet your application needs – welded endless and open ended. A variety of tooth pitch, length, and material combinations are available that cover a wide range of possible configurations for your specific application.

Why TPU? Polyurethane is extremely wear and fatigue resistant and at the same time highly flexible. TPU is abrasion- and chemical-resistant. TPU belts replace engineered chain, plastic modular chain, steel cable, ball screw systems, and more. In all of these applications, TPU offers clean and quiet performance, easier cleaning, incredible strength, and absolute precision. And, like all Gates belt solutions, no lubrication is ever required.

For timing applications, conveying, and everything in between, TPU is our most highly-customizable belt

Flex Belts

Sleeves

Gates TPU Flex Belts are built in a truly endless construction which offers more strength and stiffness than a welded belt can provide, making them ideal for power transmission and heavy load conveying applications. These products cover a wide variety of needs and applications through an extensive range of sizes, lengths, and resin grades.

Flex Belts

Exceptional rigidity, stability, and reduced tooth flexing in the overall system. Delivers a clean, quiet, and smooth-running operation with minimal maintenance. Wide range of tooth profiles meeting broad application requirements.

High tensile strength and stiffness and parallel cord construction offer superior performance, tracking, and uniform tensioning. Tough polyurethane construction provides increased durability and superior resistance to oil, chemical, and water contact Nylon back and tooth surface options are available for quieter operation and reduced friction. The GPP 8/14 is a parabolic profile belt suitable for linear positioning and heavy lifting

PosiClean™ belts are an easy to clean, quieter running, positive-drive replacement for straight-running plastic modular belts and unsupported monolithic belting in direct contact with food. CenterClean™ belts are designed for self-tracking and troughing applications as well as general processing conveyance. FlatClean™ belts are an all-purpose polyurethane flat reinforced with aramid tensile members to reduce stretch and extend belt

High strength combined with low elongation offers a compelling solution in a number of demanding applications. Sealed belt edges eliminate cord fraying, enhancing resistance to corrosion and increasing belt life. No re-tensioning is required due to high quality, high strength tension members.

High speed and durability make Gates TPU flat belts an advanced intralogistics belt solution. One customer realized nearly $85,000 of potential annual savings when they switched to Gates F160 open ended flat belt due to. This belt reduced downtime, labor expense, and inventory carrying costs.

Helically wound cords offer superior strength. POLAR flex belts are ideal for applications working in temperature down to –30°C VOLT flex belts are static conductive (ISO 9563) for use in the conditions described in the directive 2014/34/EU-ATEX

Gates TPU Synchro-Power® sleeves are manufactured as truly endless synchronous belts with no splice and are designed for applications requiring higher strength and stiffness than a welded belt can provide. We offer various sizes and tooth profiles that provide high performance across a wide range of loads, speeds, and applications. Belt lengths are available up to 2.25m (2,250 mm).

Gates TPU Food Belts represent the next generation of food processing belts. Our design leadership is exemplified by features such as: embedded tension cords to virtually eliminate stretch, a robust pin splice design for quick belt fastening and removal, and a special extrusion process to improve cleanability and limit potential contamination areas. Our product offerings are USDA/ EU certified for direct contact with food and hygienic products.

High speed and durability make Gates TPU linear timing belts an advanced intralogistics belt solution. One customer realized nearly $85,000 of potential annual savings when they switched to Gates F160 Live Roller Belt. This belt reduced downtime, labor expense for belt replacement, and inventory carrying costs.
