Gates Long Length GT 8MR 30 Steel Cord Rubber Belt (30M)
Available
This is Gates Long-Length PowerGrip GT2 timing belting in 8mm (8MR) pitch, steel-tensile construction (“ST”) — supplied as bulk belting rather than a pre-cut endless loop, for machinery builders and maintenance teams who cut and join their own belt to length. The steel-tensile cord trades a shorter maximum continuous length for extra strength over the standard fibreglass-cord version.
Where this product is used
Long-length PowerGrip belting is an industrial synchronous drive product, not an automotive timing belt. Typical uses include:
- Purpose-built or one-off synchronous drives where no standard endless length is available
- Machinery builders cutting and joining belts to a custom pitch length on their own equipment
- Maintenance teams holding bulk belting on hand for fast turnaround repairs
