Selecting the proper drive system can save you thousands of dollars over the life of the drive.

Whether you are converting an existing drive or designing a new one, it is important to weigh your options carefully. In many cases a synchronous belt drive, like Gates Poly Chain® GT®2, could be your best choice.

Replace roller chain virtually size for size in most applications.

With new sizes and ratings, Poly Chain GT2 belts now have equivalent capacity to roller chain in the same width. Over 118,000 drive combinations are now available to choose from, allowing you to replace more roller chain drives, particularly in the #35 to #120 pitch range.

Outlasts and outperforms roller chain in more applications than ever.

The tough, durable design helps Poly Chain GT2 belts outlast standard roller chain 3-to-1, even under the harshest conditions. By eliminating the cost of ownership associated with roller chain, including: constant lubrication, retensioning due to stretch, replacing broken chain and the resulting downtime, you could save money over the lifetime of your drive. Poly Chain GT2 belt drive systems perform better, cleaner, quieter and longer than comparable standard roller chain drives.

Poly Chain GT2 drives operating in a wide variety of applications last longer and require less maintenance than roller chain.
The durable polyurethane construction resists chemicals, oil, pollutants and abrasion and the nylon tooth facing reduces friction and eliminates the need for lubrication. These design advantages make Poly Chain GT2 belts ideal for many industries:

· Lumber, Pulp & Paper

· Packaging

· Food Processing

· Aluminum/Steel

· Petrochemical

· Sand, Gravel & Concrete

· Glass Manufacturing/Bottles
