Measuring Your Belt

Check the markings first. Most belts have their size printed on the back, for example A24, SPZ1000 or 8PK1200. Type that code into the search bar to find the exact match.

Markings worn off? Measure across the top of the belt for the width, and its depth. For the length, wrap a piece of string round the belt, mark where it meets, then lay the string flat and measure it.

Timing or ribbed belt? Count the teeth or ribs, and measure the gap between them.

The Gates PowerGrip GT3 1120-8MGT-50 is a 8mm-pitch GT timing belt with a 1120mm pitch length, 140 teeth and a width of 50mm. It fits GT and HTD-profile pulleys of the same pitch, and is static conductive (ISO 9563) and ATEX compliant.

PowerGrip GT3 belts have a fibreglass tension cord, a neoprene body and precision-formed teeth with a low-friction nylon facing. Gates rates them at about twice the capacity of its earlier PowerGrip GT and HTD belts, with high resistance to tooth jump, quieter running and no need for lubrication. They work from −30°C to +100°C and resist oil, grease, grime and moisture. It suits high-torque industrial drives where a compact, lightweight belt has to replace roller chain or a wider belt.

Check it’s the right belt

  • The old belt should be marked 1120-8MGT-50 (or 1120 8MGT 50). 1120 is the pitch length in mm, 8MGT is the profile, and 50 is the width in mm.
  • If the marking has worn off, count the teeth: this belt has 140. Multiply by 8mm to get the pitch length.
  • GT teeth are a different shape from older HTD (8M) and T-profile belts. At this pitch a GT belt will also run on HTD pulleys.

Not quite the right size? The nearest sizes in this width are 1064-8MGT-50 and 1160-8MGT-50. Not sure? Call 020 8138 2848 and we’ll help you find the right belt.
