Gates 8MGT-1600-36 Poly Chain GT Carbon Belt

Gates Poly Chain GT Carbon synchronous belts have a renowned industry reputation for high performance and huge cost savings in a range of applications, designed to handle longer center distances at high load-carrying capacities. Gates uses patented Carbon Fiber tensile cords for increased horsepower rating, compactness, and flexibility, while also allowing the use of backside idlers. When combined with Gates Poly Chain GT2 sprockets, you’ll 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.
Fully operational in temperature extremes of -54°C to +85°C (-65°F to +185°F).
High power density with a lightweight, clean-running construction.
