The benefits at a glance
- Up to +25% greater power transmission compared to the GT3 belt.
- High degree of power transmission allows for a more compact belt drive
- A more compact belt drive means a lower weight and less mass inertia
- A lower weight and less mass inertia means easier mounting and more efficient operation
- The temperature range was extended to -40°C to +120°C (briefly up to +140°C).
- The special EPDM compound exhibits a very high chemical resistance
Toothed belt structure
The combination of the robust fibreglass cords and the special EPDM compound result in a high-performance belt for a wide variety of applications.
The extremely high degree of power transmission allows a very compact belt drive to be realised. This reduces moments of inertia and the total weight of the belt drive. This facilitates the initial installation, reduces the energy consumption of the machine, and increases the overall system efficiency. Not only you as a mechanical engineer, but also your customers benefit from this during the operation of the machine or system.

You ask yourself: "Is the belt suited for my application?"
Were you previously using a GT3 belt? If so, the answer is definitely a YES. Gates set up series of experiments and performed tests and analyses. The result: Gates confirmed the suitability of the GT4 as a replacement for the GT3. Naturally, we will also provide you with the matching belt pulley and a belt tension measuring device to correctly tension the belt.
If you have a different belt installed in your machine, you are now just one step away from an optimisation..
