Gates PolyChain® GT® Carbon™ belt construction utilises a polyurethane body combined with carbon fibre tensile cords for increased capacity and performance.
They are particularly suited for replacing roller chain on roll-to-roll conveyors.
Construction
Teeth and body are made of a lightweight polyurethane compound, specially blended for
adhesion to the cords and fabric.
The carbon fibre tensile cords provide extraordinary power carrying capacity.
Flex fatigue life of carbon is exceptional, and its high impact strength withstands shocks and surge loading.
