Gates 1280-8MGT-50 GT 2 PowerGrip Belt, 8mm Pitch, 50mm Width, 160 Teeth, 50.39" Pitch Length

Reduce both acquisition costs and transaction costs by designing with PowerGrip GT2. The PowerGrip GT2 belt has two times the rating of competitive RPP belts, and its predecessors PowerGrip GT and HTD belts. PowerGrip GT2 drive systems offer the largest selection of belts and sprockets in the industry. At reduced widths, PowerGrip GT2 belts can be used as a direct replacement for most 8mm and 14mm pitch standard rubber RPP and HTD synchronous belts. PowerGrip GT2 belts are suitable for many applications such as HVAC, textile, printing, machine tools, food processing, conveyors, packaging, agriculture, pumps, compressors, centrifuges, laundry, pulp and paper. A single twist cord helps prevent the belt from moving downward on vertical shaft ACHE applications. Fiberglass tensile cord provides high strength, excellent flex life, and high resistance to elongation. Neoprene body provides protection against grime, grease, oil, and moisture.

• Gates patented tooth profile is designed for use with a specific sprocket groove profile
• The sprocket groove-belt tooth combination increases capacity, while improving registration
• PowerGrip GT2 has more tooth ratchet resistance than HTD
• Eliminates lubrication and re-tensioning reduce maintenance and labor as compared to roller chain drives
• Nylon tooth facing provides a durable wear surface for long service life
