Did you know that Gates carries a limited line of stainless
steel sprockets for 8mm pitch Poly Chain® GT® Carbon™
belts in 12mm and 21mm widths? In
addition, there is a standard line of stainless steel Taper-Lock®
bushings available for use with these sprockets. This combination provides a nice corrosion
resistant hardware package for use in wet or wash down applications where
standard sprockets and bushings would rust and corrode.
It may be helpful to note that screws supplied with the
stainless steel bushings are made of carbon steel rather than stainless steel
material. Carbon steel screws are used
for their superior material strength, and zinc plated for corrosion
resistance. Stainless steel screws do
not have the mechanical strength necessary to install and retain Taper-Lock®
bushings in Poly Chain® GT®2 sprockets.
