    Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™ Belts

    Give yourself a competitive advantage by designing in the Gates Poly Chain™ GT™ Carbon drive system instead of roller chain in your next power transmission application. The patented use of carbon fiber as the tensile cord in this belt provides increased horsepower rating for greater power density and compactness. When combined with Gates Poly Chain GT sprockets, you have a lightweight, long-lasting, maintenance-free system that's more than a match for roller chain.

    • Durable polyurethane construction resists chemicals, oil, pollutants and abrasion.
    • Robust carbon tensile cord combines minimal stretch with extraordinary strength and load carrying capacity.
    • Gates curvilinear tooth profile provides high shear strength and improved load carrying capacity.
    • Nylon tooth facing reduces friction and eliminates the need for lubrication.
    • Equivalent capacity to roller chain drives in the same width that offer a maintenance-free, clean solution with no lubrication or retensioning required.

    A Reputation of Revolutionary Innovations.

    In 1917, John Gates invented the V-Belt and changed power transmission as the world knew it. Fast forward almost a century and Gates® Corporation took the industry by storm once again with our revolutionary Poly Chain® V-Belts. We saw the opportunity to create a maintenance-free, mess-free, high-power alternative to the costly, heavy, labor-intensive roller chain drives that were once the only option for heavy duty applications. Today, we continue to push the limits of power transmission possibilities with every Gates solution.
