Timing Belts
Giga Torque GX
Product Details
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 |
