Save More Than You Think

Run With Us for Energy Savings

Manufacturing companies in the U.S. spend billions of dollars on the electricity powering motor-driven systems. Many of these motors are not running at optimum efficiency, and loss of power is a loss of money.

Gates PowerGrip®GT®2 or Poly Chain® GT® Carbon synchronous belt drives operate at a consistent 98% efficiency, eliminating the excess energy consumption. Here's how significant savings are achieved:

  • Synchronous belts have less mass, generate less heat and have minimal belt creep compared to V-belts.
  • Because synchronous belt drives do not stretch, they offer reduced maintenance, letting you focus on more critical activities.
  • These belts require no run-in procedure or retensioning, so downtime is minimized. More uptime equates to more production.

Drives requiring longer center distances and high load carrying capacity benefit from Gates new Poly Chain® GT® Carbon Extended Length belts, offering the same maintenance and energy savings as the standard-length belts.

Looking to improve the efficiency of your V-belt drive? Gates molded notch EPDM construction belts are up to 3% more efficient than wrapped belts.

With energy costs on the rise, don't miss an opportunity to run with us and save thousands of dollars. Read free power transmission case studies, or contact us to learn about Powered® Savings, an exclusive Gates program to locate savings in your facility.
