New, Improved, Guaranteed: Goodyear Falcon Pd™ Synchronous Belts


Introducing Goodyear Falcon Pd Synchronous belts, ready to go as drop-in replacements for Gates Poly Chain GT2 Polyurethane Belts*. Designed to be an exact fit for Poly Chain sprockets, Falcon Pd high performance belts are several ways better.

Falcon belts offer premium performance. They have excellent tensile strength. Made out of rubber (not polyurethane), they resist flex fatigue and deliver longer life.

The rubber construction also allows for applications that require backside idlers.

Field tests indicate that they run quieter, too. In one such test, Falcon consistently produced less noise (up to 4 dB less) than the comparable Gates product.

Goodyear will operate efficiently and reliably over a wide range of operating temperatures (-70° to 185° F, -57° to 85° C).

Offered in a variety of lengths and widths, in both 8 mm and 14 mm pitch size, the correct Goodyear Falcon SKU is easy to find. If the Gates belt number is 8MGT-640-21, the Goodyear replacement SKU will be 8GTR-640-21. In this numbering system, the first digit is pitch (either 8 mm or 14 mm). The alpha cluster indicates manufacturer. GTR equals Goodyear Tire and Rubber. The second number cluster is length, in millimeters. Final cluster is width, in millimeters.

If you have a Gates SKU, just convert it easily to Goodyear's numbering system. If you have a Gates belt of unknown SKU, measure the length and the width and the pitch, and the Goodyear number will be easy to specify.

This picture tells the construction story:



Goodyear is justifiably proud of Falcon Pd belts - and guarantees their performance. When properly installed, Goodyear promises that Falcon Pd belts will out perform the Gates product now being used , or will give you double your money back if they don't.

To participate, simply click the sign up button below. Goodyear will ask to tell them about your synchronous drive application in which you would like to try a new Goodyear Falcon Pd synchronous belt.

Give them your drive details and information about how long your present belt is lasting. They'll do a free drive analysis, recommend the proper tension and confirm your participation in the synchronous Double Your Money Warranty.

After the placement of your purchase order, IBT will deliver the recommended belt and invoice you in the normal fashion. Simply put, Goodyear synchronous belts will outlast the belts they replace, or Goodyear will give you double what you paid for them.

It's as simple as that! It's how Goodyear demonstrates that their Goodyear synchronous belts will give you more life per dollar than the belts you currently buy.
