Gates Micro-V Belts outperform other V-ribbed belts because they are truncated (shorter). This shorter profile gives the new Micro-V Belts increased flexibility, reduced heat buildup and allows them to operate at extra high speeds on smaller diameter sheaves.
Two more advantages of the truncated are: (1) the belt does not bottom in the sheave, and (2) the belt can better tolerate debris in the sheave groove. They are extremely smooth running and highly resistant to oil, heat and other adverse conditions.
Three cross sections are available for industrial applications: J, L and M. |

Gates Tri-Power® and Super HC molded notch belts now feature a special Vextra® construction that increases service life up to 33% by eliminating the stretch and elongation problems associated with most other V-belts. |
| There have not been a lot of recent advancements in V-belt technology. Until now! Gates introduces Vextra - a special construction that increases service life by 33 percent and adds more than 90 part numbers to Gates line of Gates Super HC® and Tri-Power® molded notch belts. Gates has re-engineered these V-belts - without increasing the price -to save you money on belt maintenance costs and reduce your downtime. That's the kind of problem solving you would expect from Gates - the driving force in power transmission. |

Innovative Construction
Re-engineered from top to bottom, Vextra belts represent a perfect combination of belt geometry and composition. The uni-body construction features a proprietary, oil and heat resistant, static conductive rubber material that completely eliminates the need for cross cord. Vextra belts also incorporate a uniquely engineered tensile member for superior strength. The result is a belt that provides you with an unbeatable combination of flex and load carrying capacity, reduced stretch, and incredible cord adhesion properties that eliminate separation of the tensile cords.
Vextra Provides 33% Longer Life
This new, innovative construction provides the best performing, most dependable V-belt you can buy. Field tests and tests conducted in the Gates belt test lab (the largest in the world), show that Vextra belts deliver 33% longer life, on average, compared to previous versions of Super HC® and Tri-Power® molded notch belts. When compared head-to-head against competitive belts from domestic and offshore manufacturers, combined load and flex test results demonstrate that Vextra belts deliver the best overall performance by far.
Less Maintenance & Downtime
It all adds up to savings for you. With Vextra belts on your drives, you gain cost-saving advantages in maintenance, labor and a substantial reduction in downtime. The superior belt performance means you'll spend less time re-tensioning belts and adjusting drives, and spend less downtime, adjusting belts. In short, you'll get more "uptime" out of your drives and more value out of your V-belt budget.

Gates Metric Power belts provide complete coverage for drives on imported machinery.
|
 |
Gates Metric Power™ belts are designed to replace OEM components on imported, speed-sensitive machinery typically used in the textile, packaging, conveyor, food processing and machine tool industries.
The line of V-belts, readily available from Gates U.S. distributors, encompasses nearly 400 part numbers. Two cross sections are available: eight narrow sizes from XPZ to XPC, and three classical sizes of 10X, 13X and 17X. Standard lengths are from 530 to 3,000 mm.
All Metric Power belts feature Gates V80® matching system. This means each V80 belt is manufactured within a finite length tolerance so that any V80 belt will match and perform with any other V80 belt of the same size and type.
Gates Metric Power belts have several construction features to help reduce equipment maintenance and down time. These include molded notches to reduce thermal and bending stresses; straight sidewalls for uniform wedging action; and specially treated tensile cords that resist flexing forces, fatigue and shock loads.

PowerBand belts were developed by Gates for drives subjected to pulsating loads, shock loads or extreme vibrations where single belts could flip over on the pulleys. A high-strength tie band permanently joins two or more belts to provide lateral rigidity. This keeps the belts running in a strait line in the pulley grooves.
PowerBand constructions is offered with Gates Hi-Power® II, Super HC® and Super HC Molded Notch Belts.
The Gates Predator™ V-Belt is a multi layered PowerBand® construction that adds strength, durability, shear and tear resistance and lateral rigidity to handle the toughest shock-loaded applications. It is available in Super HC and Hi-Power II profiles. |
Predator V-Belts primary features:
- Aramid tensile cords for extraordinary strength, durability and virtually zero stretch.
- Chloroprene rubber compounds for superb oil and heat resistance.
- Specially-treated cover withstands slip and shear forces at peak loads without generating excessive heat. It also fends off penetration by foreign materials.
- Gates curves that compensate for effects that occur when belts bend around a sheave for uniform loading and maximum life.
- Precision-matched to maximize power absorption and belt life.

Recommended for replacing leather belting on Serpentine or Quarter-Turn drives. They are specified by Diameter and Inside Length.
If your current drive has either leather or round endless belting, you should consider a new drive design. V-belt drives offer many advantages in performance, even on Serpentine or Quarter-Turn drives. |

Recommended for the toughest shock load applications, especially on drives that can't be shut down for re-tensioning after initial belt run-in. Reinforced with an aramid fiber tensile (pound for pound stronger than steel), Power Cable belts last longer and costs less than steel cable belts. |

Used on drives with little or no take-up, or as an emergency belt replacement.
Belting is sold on reels in standard V-Belt cross sections. Ends are spliced with fasteners that require special assembly tools. Always use the correct fasteners with the correct belt type and cross section.
Nu-T-Link*, a new, high performance spliced belt, is also available for use as emergency belting, and for drives where conditions are detrimental to rubber belts. |

Gates Multi-Speed (Variable Speed) Belts |
Multi-Speed belts have a distinct shape. Multi-Speed belt top widths are usually greater than their thickness. This permits a greater range of speed ratios than standard belts. usually cogged or notched on the underside, Multi-Speed belts are specified for equipment which require changes in driveN speed during operation.
Multi-Speed belts are specified by Top Width, Outside Circumference, and the required Groove Angle. The groove angle can be measured from the drive pulleys. |
