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