When a drive has to keep a constant speed ratio, a Gates 8MGT timing belt does the job through tooth engagement with the pulleys rather than friction. Machine tools, packaging lines and positioning systems are common places to find this series. MR Industrial Accessories supplies these belts to customers throughout the United States and Latin America, and quotes them by part number through WhatsApp or email.

Reading the part number tells you the size. The first figure is the pitch in millimeters, which is 8 for this series. The middle group is the pitch length in millimeters, such as 640, 720, 800 or 896. The last group is the width in millimeters, for example 12 or 36. So 8MGT-640-12 means 8 mm pitch, 640 mm length and 12 mm width. With that code you can match the belt to your drive without guessing.

These belts appear in food processing, packaging machinery, printing equipment, machining centers and internal conveying systems. They also suit pumps, compressors and fans where the ratio must stay fixed and maintenance should be minimal. The tooth profile keeps the belt from slipping, so the driven pulley follows the driver at a steady ratio.

Selection comes down to pitch, length and width, based on the pulleys and the power being transmitted. Check pulley alignment and condition before installing a new belt, and set tension so the teeth do not jump or wear early. These belts run dry, so no lubrication is needed. Keep them clean and away from oil and extreme temperatures to get the most from them.

Timing belts are identified by profile and pitch, and equivalents from different brands share the same designation. If you have a part number from another brand or a sample belt, we can point you to the compatible alternative. Interchangeability requires matching pitch, length, width and tooth type.
