Product Overview
Gates PowerGrip GT2 800-8MGT-50 synchronous timing belt designed for precision power transmission in high-torque applications. This belt uses the GT2 modified curvilinear tooth profile to improve load distribution and reduce backlash compared to earlier synchronous belt designs. With an 8 mm pitch, 800 mm effective length, and 50 mm width, it supports higher torque transfer in compact drive systems. Commonly specified in automation and motion-control equipment where repeatable positioning is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this belt compatible with standard GT2 sprockets?
Yes. It is designed for use with 8 mm pitch GT2 sprockets sized for a 50 mm wide belt.
How does the GT2 profile differ from older HTD belts?
The GT2 tooth geometry improves load sharing across the tooth, reduces deformation, and lowers backlash compared to traditional HTD designs.
Does the absence of original packaging affect performance?
No. Packaging does not affect operational performance. The belt is unused and shows no functional degradation.
Is this suitable for high-speed or servo-driven systems?
Yes. GT2 belts are commonly used in servo-driven and high-speed motion systems when properly sized and tensioned.
What material is used for tensile strength?
The belt uses fiberglass tensile cords embedded in a neoprene body.
GT2 belts were built for machines that count motion precisely, not approximately. This one has waited untouched, ready to take its place where timing still matters.
