How do Gates Twin Power® double sided timing belts work?

Gates Twin Power® double sided timing belts feature teeth on both sides of the belt, directly opposite each other. This enables Twin Power® belts to drive multiple pulleys synchronously.

These belts have a high level of efficiency thanks to the teeth which grip to the pulleys to prevent slippage. Gates Twin Power® double sided timing belts are available with the classic trapezoidal tooth profile and also with the unique GT tooth profile.

Gates Twin Power® double sided timing belts are used in a broad range of applications including vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers and handheld power tools.

Single-sided belts have teeth on only one side, while double-sided belts have teeth on both sides, allowing them to transmit power from both sides in systems with multiple pulleys.

How do I choose the right double-sided timing belt for my system?

Measure the pitch, width, and length required for your pulley system and refer to Gates’ catalogs or consult with a distributor to select the appropriate belt size.

What industries typically use double-sided timing belts?

These belts are commonly used in industries such as robotics, packaging, printing, and textiles, where complex pulley systems require dual-sided power transmission.
