The Gates PowerGrip GTX 1440-8MX is a timing belt with an 8MX profile, a 1440 mm length and an 8 mm pitch. Before you install it, inspect the drive and the sheaves so the new belt runs true and lasts.
Check the sheaves for worn grooves, nicks or build-up that can damage the belt teeth. Confirm the sheave profile matches the 8MX belt and that the flanges are not bent. Misalignment or a damaged sheave will shorten belt life even when the replacement is correct.
Rotate the drive by hand and feel for rough bearings, a binding shaft or a tensioner that does not move freely. Correct any of these before fitting the 1440-8MX. Set tension to the drive manufacturer's specification, then recheck after the first run-in period.
When you request a quote, send the part number 1440-8MX and the belt marking. If you are replacing a belt on a drive that has run for a long time, note the sheave condition and any unusual wear. We carry the Gates PowerGrip GTX line and can help confirm the right belt for your application.
