GRT Fabrics

Dependable and Durable
GRT® belts are constructed of polyester or nylon fabrics. Tough polyester filament yarns give GRT® belts high tensile strength. The longitudinal warp yarns carry the tension, and the transverse fill yarns hold the warp in place and retain the mechanical fasteners.
The crimp in the fabric acts as a shock absorber, permitting the fabric to deflect and adjust itself during impact shock.

Benefits
• Controlled stretch provided for by
Polyester's low stretch and shrink
properties reduce takeup and time needed
for drive adjustments

• Resistance to mildew and rot means that
wet applications will not affect the belt

• Low moisture absorption ensures better
dimensional stability in wet or dry
applications

• Excellent resistance to chemicals and acids
allows a wide range of uses in a variety of
environments

• High adhesion between plies and
outstanding flexibility allow the use of
smaller pulleys, yielding longer service life

• Excellent resistance to stretch and break
down due to heat means consistent service
in high temperature applications

• Superior fastener holding ability
