Eagle NRG™
Q: What isEagle NRG™?
Q: Is the H.O.T. design different from standard synchronous belts?
Q: You mentioned noise. How much quieter is Eagle NRG than a straight tooth belt?
Q: From a materials standpoint, how is Eagle NRG different?
Q: Does Eagle NRG compete favorably with the Gates Poly Chain GT2* product?
Q: You mentioned that Eagle NRG is an integrated system. What about sprockets?
Q: Can Eagle NRG sprockets be specially made if the drive requires?
Q: What are the stock range of sizes currently available for Eagle NRG?
Q: What about longer lengths commonly used in cooling tower/heat exchanger markets?
Q: Where can I buy Eagle NRG?
Q: What is Eagle NRG™?
A: Eagle NRG is our patented synchronous drive system utilizing the exclusive helical offset tooth H.O.T. technology.
Q: Is the H.O.T. design different from standard synchronous belts?
A: The helical offset teeth provide continuous rolling engagement between the belt and sprocket allowing for less inherent noise and vibration when compared to standard straight tooth synchronous belts.
Q: You mentioned noise. How much quieter is Eagle NRG than a straight tooth belt?
A: Although the noise emitted from a synchronous drive will vary depending on operating speed, Eagle NRG on average, can emit up to 19 less db than the comparable straight tooth synchronous belt.
Q: From a materials standpoint, how is Eagle NRG different?
A: Eagle NRG is made from Goodyear Engineered Products Hybrex™ rubber compound, giving it excellent tooth rigidity.
Q: Does Eagle NRG compete favorably with the Gates Poly Chain GT2* product?
A: Yes, especially when noise is an issue. Eagle NRG can be a desirable alternative to Poly Chain with exceptional horsepower capacity.
Q: You mentioned that Eagle NRG is an integrated system. What about sprockets?
A: With Eagle NRG’s exclusive color call-outs, mating belt and sprocket has never been easier, i.e., Eagle NRG yellow belt mates with a Eagle NRG yellow sprocket and so on…
Q: Can Eagle NRG sprockets be specially made if the drive requires?
A: Yes. In addition to our stock line-up of standard cast and ductile iron sprockets, customers can special order a full range of sprocket materials including stainless steel, aluminum, etc.
Q: What are the stock range of sizes currently available for Eagle NRG?
A: Eagle NRG comes in a full range of sizes that correspond to Goodyear Engineered Products exclusive color coding scheme starting with the Yellow 8mm pitch, 16mm wide belts though to the Red 14mm pitch, 105mm wide belts.
Q: What about longer lengths commonly used in cooling tower/heat exchanger markets?
A: Goodyear Engineered Products now have available 14mm pitch belts in 3136mm, 3304mm, 3500mm and 3920mm lengths, ideal to retrofit "Fin Fan" style drives. With Eagle NRG's self-tracking capabilities and lower noise emissions, end-users can make real operational upgrades in their facilities.
Q: Where can I buy Eagle NRG?
A: Just contact your local Goodyear Engineered Products Authorized Distributors for price and availability.

Falcon HTC®
Q: What is Falcon HTC?
Q: How is Falcon HTC supposed to be used?
Q: Are sprockets availble for Falcon HTC drive systems?
Q: As a replacement, does Falcon HTC match the Poly Chain on all sizes?
Q: Although Falcon HTC matches size for size, how is it different from Poly Chain?
Q: Are there advantages of rubber over polyurethane, after-all Poly Chain has been around for years?
Q: Is Falcon HTC as strong as an equivalent size Poly Chain belt?
Q: Is Falcon HTC comparably priced to Poly Chain?
Q: Can the Falcon HTC belt be considered a replacement candidate for all existing Poly Chain drives?
Q: Are sprockets availble for Falcon HTC drive systems?
Q: With your Falcon HTC Sprocket offering, can I use Maximizer to design or size a Flacon HTC drive system?
Q: What about Falcon HTC sprocket availability?
Q: Where can I buy Falcon HTC belts and sprockets?
Q: What is Falcon HTC?
A: Falcon HTC is one of our premium synchronous power transmission belts and is the first to be designed as an alternative to the Gates Poly Chain GT2* product.
Q: How is Falcon HTC supposed to be used?
A: Falcon HTC is a “drop-in” replacement in existing Poly Chain drives, giving the Poly Chain user a quality belting option.
Q: Does Falcon HTC actually fit existing Poly Chain sprockets?
A: Falcon HTC was engineered to precisely fit Poly Chain sprockets for true “drop-in” convenience.
Q: As a replacement, does Falcon HTC match the Poly Chain on all sizes?
A: Yes, Falcon HTC matches one-for-one on each of the Poly Chain sizes both 8mm and 14mm pitches.
Q: Although Falcon HTC matches size for size, how is it different from Poly Chain?
A: The biggest difference is that Falcon HTC is a rubber constructed belt whereas Poly Chain is a polyurethane belt.
Q: Are there advantages of rubber over polyurethane, after-all Poly Chain has been around for years?
A: Our rubber compound creates a more flexible composite than polyurethane and therefore can have greater resistance to flex-fatigue providing potentially longer life.
Q: Is Falcon HTC as strong as an equivalent size Poly Chain belt?
A: Our testing shows that Falcon HTC has comparable tensile strength to stand up to the rigors often found in many synchronous drives.
Q: Is Falcon HTC comparably priced to Poly Chain?
A: Like any other product sold through authorized distributors, the final price to end-users depends on local distributor. However, we believe Falcon HTC’s final price to be market competitive.
Q: Can the Falcon HTC belt be considered a replacement candidate for all existing Poly Chain drives?
A: Yes. With Falcon HTC’s premium construction and size-for-size match characteristics, end-users should consider Falcon HTC especially where flex-fatigue has been an issue.
Q: Are sprockets available for Falcon HTC drive systems?
A: Yes, Falcon HTC Sprockets are offered in a range of sizes in both 8mm and 14mm pitch. In addition, other nonstock sizes can be special-ordered upon request.

Q: Is Hawk Pd the same price as HPPD Plus?
Q: Where can I buy Hawk Pd?
Q: What is Hawk Pd™?
A: Hawk Pd is our latest improvement in a long line of premium synchronous power transmission belts.
Q: Where does Hawk Pd fit in the your synchronous line-up?
A: Hawk Pd is a premium upgrade that replaces the 5mm, 8mm, 14mm and 20mm sizes of the Hi-Performance Pd Plus™ line.
Q: What happens to your current HPPD Plus™?
A: Since Hawk Pd is constructed from an enhanced polymer with increased strength and flexibility and is offered in all profiles previously offered in HPPD, the current Hi-Performance Pd Plus™ has been eliminated.
Q: If the compound has changed, what about the reinforcement?
A: The tensile cord is our versatile, high-strength fiberglass reinforcement that’s well suited for synchronous belting.
