Design Flex Pro

Noise, wear on pulleys, belts and bearings, vibrations and ultimately

machine downtime may all be caused by improper pulley alignment.
This can be prevented by using Gates laser alignment device, the LASER
AT-1. Mounted in a few seconds, the laser line projected on the targets
allows you to quickly ascertain and correct any misalignment. The LASER
AT-1 identifies parallel as well as angular misalignment between the
pulleys, and is suitable for pulley diameters of 60mm and larger.

Design Flex Pro is the newest upgrade to the previous versions of our
Design Flex software.

It is so light it can be mounted on non-magnetic pulleys with double

sided adhesive tape and used on both horizontally and vertically
mounted machines.

Use Design Flex Pro if you want to:

For both V-belt and synchronous belt drives.

GATES BELT AND PULLEY GAUGES

Item Code - 7401-0015
Gates colour coded belt and pulley gauges detect worn pulleys and
identify belt cross sections. The pulley gauges fit standard industrial
grooves, identifying excessive wear before it leads to premature belt
failure. The belt gauges can also be used to identify belt cross sections
when labels have been worn away. All grouped together on a sturdy
chain, the gauges will be a valuable tool to any fitter.

GATES TENSION TESTERS

Gates engineers and technical staff can provide complete drive evaluations
and recommendations to standardise your total belt needs. A plant survey
can be conducted, and an optimisation program implemented to reduce the
total number of different belt and pulley lines. Because of the matching
ability of the Gates products, this will enable a reduction on your onsite
inventory. The optimisation would also eliminate any under or over designed
drives whilst providing full tensioning details for each drive.

GATES DESIGN IQ SOFTWARE

Design IQ
Our Design IQ program provides a blank canvas for designing multi-point
and complex serpentine drives.
You can enter the drive details in minutes then quickly and easily tweak
the design to meet your requirements. Once the design is finalised you can
create a PDF of the design specifications to email or print.
Design IQ can design drives for the majority of our belt lines including single
and double-sided V-belt and synchronous belts.

Item Codes Single Barrel - 15kg: 7401-0076

Double Barrel - 30kg: 7401-0075
Gates has available two tension testing tools for use in the servicing of belt drives.
The single barrel (15kg) and the double barrel (30kg) tester can be used to accurately
measure the tension of individual or joined belts upon installation or during
maintenance.
Using the tension testers ensures that correct tension is maintained and is repeatable.
This will yield not only a longer service life but a predictable one, enabling scheduled
replacement rather than breakdown replacement.

GATES BELT
MEASURER
Item Code
7401-10001
Gates Belt Measurer can be
mounted on your wall to
easily find the inside length
of a V-belt. It provides an
accurate measure of all
belt sizes between 600mm
to 4100mm.
When used in conjunction
with our Belt and Pulley
Gauges belt identification
is simple.

Gates Tension Plate

& STICKER
Item Codes
Plate: 496-1997 Sticker: 496-5008
No more guessing tensions or wondering
what the correct belt should be. Gates can
supply all your drive critical information on
aluminium badge plates or stick-on labels
that can be attached right onto the machine.
With the badge or label specifying which belt,
how many and the tensioning data, incorrect
belt installation is avoided.

GATES VALUE POINT: DESIGN IQ

When used together Design Flex Pro and Design IQ provide even quicker results.
Example. If replacing a fixed centre distance roller chain drive with Poly Chain GT Carbon use Design Flex Pro to find the sizing and
speeds that meets your needs. Then enter these details into Design IQ to add an idler to the system and check for a belt length.
