Problem
Transmitting 15kW at a speed of 8200rpm would cause the V-belts to disintegrate after only a couple of months of operation.
A belt drive was required that could cope with this high speed and not require constant replacement.
Solution Description
Belt = 8MGT-1200-12 Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™
DriveR Sprocket = 60 Tooth
DriveN Sprocket = 22 Tooth
Benefits of Gates Product
The Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™ drive has so far successfully lasted 6 months without adjustment.
The new drive has resulted in:
• No maintenance or retensioning
• Reduced replacements and downtime
• 70% reduction in width
• 40% reduction in diameter
• 70% reduction in weight
