Gates 8MX-48S-21 Poly Chain GT2 Sprocket

Genuine, strong, durable sprockets designed for use with high power density Gates Poly Chain Carbon Volt, Poly Chain GT2, and Poly Chain GT Carbon belts.

• Smaller, narrower sprockets save shaft space, keep the load closer to bearing and extend life of reducer.
• Poly Chain GT2 Sprockets keep overhung load below manufacturers' recommendation.
• Precisely manufactured and statically balanced to ISO 1940 (1973) to class G16.

THE INDUSTRY'S BEST.

With patented, carbon tensile cord design for high-torque, low-speed drives, Gates engineers were the first in the world to incorporate a high fatigue-resisting carbon fiber tensile cord into the belt, which is made of a new polyurethane compound. Consequently, Poly Chain GT Carbon quickly became the most powerful line of synchronous belts on the market, providing a maintenance-free, energy saving, and environmentally friendly operation, offering an excellent alternative to roller chain and gear drives.
