Gates Corporation 8M-2520-36 Poly Chain GT Belt

Description:

The Gates Industrial 8M-2520-36 Poly Chain GT Belt is used in high-torque synchronous power transmission systems requiring maintenance-free, positive-drive performance. Commonly installed in conveyors, compressors, pumps, industrial mixers, packaging equipment, woodworking machinery, and material handling systems that utilize 8 mm pitch synchronous belt drives. Maintenance technicians and system integrators use this timing belt for equipment repair, drive system replacement, retrofit, and high-performance power transmission upgrades.

Applications:

The Gates Industrial 8M-2520-36 Poly Chain GT Belt is a polyurethane synchronous belt reinforced with high-strength carbon tensile cords to deliver exceptional load capacity, minimal stretch, and precise timing. It is designed for demanding industrial applications requiring high efficiency, long service life, resistance to chemicals and abrasion, and maintenance-free operation while eliminating lubrication and retensioning associated with roller chain drives.
