MEET TOUGH SPECIFICATIONS

POWERGRIP™ GT4™

Combining advanced materials science and process engineering, PowerGrip™ GT4™ is the belt driven solution for narrower drives. It offers wider temperature range capability, improved chemical resistance and higher power capacity.

Go hot:

With a temperature range of -40°to +120°(+140°intermittent), PowerGrip™ GT4™ can power oven exhaust fans where conventional belts fail

Go narrow:

The higher power carrying capacity enables you to use a narrow belt

Superior resistance:

Nylon fabric protects the surface from acids, chemicals, and water

Go easy:

Lubrication free design eliminates oil contamination, and no re tensioning cuts maintenance costs


GET THE BEST FROM YOUR BELT DRIVE

SPROCKETS / PULLEYS

Ideal for chain to belt drive conversions, our sprockets are available in a range of sizes and materials, with prolonged antistatic properties and nickel plating for improved corrosion resistance.


Stay flexible:

Idler sprockets give your drive solutions versatility, enabling belt path alteration without sacrificing drive performance



Stay stable:

Precision manufactured and static balanced to eliminate wobble, our sprockets are designed to keep the load closer to the bearing and extend life, while making the entire belt drive safer



Reduce workload:

With no metal on metal wear, maintenance free sprockets for Poly Chain® have 10 times the life of roller chain sprockets (and are faster and easier to install when the time eventually comes)
