Gates MGTC series timing belts are used where a positive drive between toothed pulleys is required, with no slipping and a constant transmission ratio. They suit machine tools, automation equipment and positioning systems. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to customers across the United States and Latin America, and can help you identify the correct belt for your drive.
The part number tells you the main dimensions. Take 14MGTC-4578-37EL: the first number, 14, is the pitch in millimeters; 4578 is the length; and 37 is the width in millimeters. The EL suffix identifies a specific Gates construction. A reference such as 14MGTC-4578-90EL uses the same pitch and length but a larger width. Reading the code this way makes it easy to confirm what you need before ordering.
These belts are common in metalworking, food processing, textile and automation environments. You will find them on machine tools, machining centers, packaging machinery and synchronized conveyors. Because they hold synchronization, they are a good fit for printing equipment and electronics manufacturing, where motion precision matters.
When selecting a belt, match the pitch, length and width to your drive. Check that the belt is compatible with the toothed pulleys and that the pulleys are aligned; misalignment leads to premature wear. These belts do not require lubrication, but they should be kept clean and free of contaminants. Tensioning them correctly during installation helps the system last longer.
MGTC series belts can be interchanged with other brands that use the same pitch, length and width nomenclature. If you are replacing a belt from another brand, compare the dimensions and the tooth profile before installing. Our team can help you find an equivalent that keeps your equipment running as intended.

Frequently asked questions
- What does MGTC mean on a Gates belt?
- MGTC is a Gates designation for timing belts. The numbers around it give the pitch, length and width. In 14MGTC-4578-37EL, 14 is the pitch in millimeters, 4578 is the length and 37 is the width; EL indicates a specific construction.
- How do I choose the right belt width?
- The width must match your pulleys and the transmission capacity required. If you are replacing an existing belt, check the original part number or measure the width in millimeters. If you are unsure, send us your equipment details and we will help.
- Can I replace a belt from another brand with a Gates MGTC?
- Yes, provided the pitch, length and width match. Timing belts follow dimensional standards, so a Gates MGTC can be equivalent to another brand when those parameters are the same. Compare the tooth profile and dimensions to confirm compatibility.
