Timing Belts

Giga Torque GX

The GIGATORQUE GX is a belt that strives for strength and flexibility by using a highly rigid and flexible carbon cord. The improved transmission capacity allows the belt width to be made even narrower, saving space and reducing weight. It also has industry-leading power transmission capacity and can be used in high-torque, high-load conditions where conventional metal chains are the only option. In addition, the use of a special abrasion-resistant material for the belt reduces high frequency noise.

Features

Excellent durability

By using flexible carbon fibre with high rigidity for the cord, we have achieved excellent durability and flexibility.
Low noise

By using a special tooth fabric with high abrasion resistance, we have reduced noise in the high-frequency range.

Comparison of GIGATORQUE GX and metal chains

	GigaTorque GX	Metal chain	Remarks
Transmission efficiency	◎	○	The belt has low energy loss.
Impact resistance	○	△	The belt is an elastic body that has low energy loss, so it can absorb a certain amount of impact.
Noise and vibration	◎	△	5dB to 10dB reduction
Adaptable range of revolution speed	◎	△	The belt is more advantageous during high-speed revolution.
Total system weight	◎	○	Compared to metal chains, belts are lighter in weight.
Necessity of lubricating oil	Unnecessary	Necessary	No refueling required, maintenance-free
