Belts
A high-performance synchronous
belt with a universal profile
With its universal tooth profile, Hawk Pd® is precisely designed
and manufactured to fit the majority of existing high-capacity
synchronous applications. Hawk Pd® can fulfill most existing
drive requirements in its class matching competitive offerings
of belt width and length.
Sprocket compatibility with Gates HTD,®* Power Grip GT®*
and GT®2,* Carlisle RPP and RPP Plus™* and TB Wood’s
Synchronous QD.®* Industry-compatible nomenclature for easy
part number interchange.
Belt materials that last longer
Hawk Pd® belts feature an enhanced rubber compound.
This compound is formulated to resist tooth deformity and
increase tooth rigidity, increasing belt life and decreasing
replacement costs.
The demands of synchronous drives put additional strain on
the belt and tooth surface for high-speed and low-speed
applications. The Hawk Pd® tooth profile resists ratcheting and
provides accurate positioning for synchronous drive applications.
Enhanced Continental ContiTech materials and tooth profile
enable the teeth to engage the sprocket smoothly.
High capacity performance
Hawk Pd® synchronous belts are designed for high-capacity
performance, exceeding the traditional speed limitations of
chain and performance limitations of belt drives. The new
material technology delivers a higher horsepower rating and
improved life.
Lower maintenance costs
Unlike chain drives, Hawk Pd® belts and matching sprockets
do not require lubrication. There is also virtually no need for
retensioning like there is for V-belts and chain drives. Install
Hawk Pd® and reduce your maintenance costs.
Applications
Nearly every conceivable industrial drive application where
shaft synchronization is required. Hawk Pd® belts can also be
used as an alternative to problem V-belt and chain drives.
