This greatly increases belt life and prevents tooth distortion caused by drive torque. In addition, the conventional timing belt has a chordal effect as it wraps small sprockets. This is significantly reduced in the PowerGrip® GT®3 system due to full tooth support along the sprocket. Full support PowerGrip® Timing Belt improves meshing, reduces vibration and minimizes Tooth/Groove Contact tooth deformation. On drives using a low installation tension, small pulleys, and light loads, the backlash of the PowerGrip® GT®3 system will be slightly better than the trapezoidal timing belt system. However, with increased tension and/or loads and/or sprocket sizes, the performance of the PowerGrip® GT®3 system becomes significantly better than the trapezoidal timing belt system. 2 ® www.gates.comd/ rivedesign ® ® ® Introduction – PowerGrip GT 3 Belt Drives This PowerGrip® GT®3 synchronous belt When precision is critical, depend on fits in tight, hard to fit applications with PowerGrip®GT®3 belts room to spare.
