Gates 1696-8M-50 8M PowerGrip HTD Belt

The PowerGrip HTD synchronous belt curvilinear tooth form ensures an optimized load distribution leading to high power transmission in low speed and high torque applications. PowerGrip HTD 3M and 5M belts are suitable for domestic appliances, office machines, electric hand tools and for applications in the processing and chemical industry. PowerGrip HTD 8M, 14M and 20M belts are used in high performance drives in the machine tool, paper and textile industries where durability and low maintenance are required. These synchronous belts have a larger, more robust curvilinear tooth profile for increased capacity, as compared to other timing belts.

• Precisely formed and accurately spaced elastomeric teeth ensure correct positioning in the pulley grooves.
• Special curvilinear tooth form improves stress distribution and allows higher overall loading.
• Neoprene body provides protection against grime, grease, oil, and moisture.

YOUR PITCH DRIVES YOUR BELT PERFORMANCE.

Gates PowerGrip HTD 8M, 14M, and 20M belts are designed for high performance, high capacity drives in the machine tool, paper and textile industries where durability and low maintenance are required. For domestic appliances, office machines, electric tools, and applications in the processing and chemical industries, we recommend 3M and 5M pitch HTD belts. If you need assistance determining the right belt for your application, or you need to create a custom power transmission solution, contact our team of application experts.

Features and Benefits
