We occasionally receive requests to provide belt
interchanges or recommend replacements for synchronous belts identified as
8YU. The 8YU drive system was originally
developed by Unitta, a Japanese company in partnership with Gates, for use in
the automotive industry. The system was
later commercialized for industrial type usage and introduced to Asian
industrial markets.
The 8YU system uses a unique belt tooth and sprocket groove
form that is not interchangeable with other industrial synchronous belt drive
systems. There are no standard belts, available
from Gates or other manufacturers, that can be used in 8YU type sprockets.
Replacement belts must be 8YU type, and can be obtained either from OEM
equipment manufacturers or from Unitta directly.
For further information, feel free to contact Gates Product Application Engineering at 303-744-5800 or at ptpasupport@gates.com.
