Gates Tri-Power Belt

The Gates Tri-Power V-belt (also called a molded notch or raw edge V-belt) is built for heavy-duty drives that use classical cross-section sheaves. Its raw-edge, notched design suits drives with small-diameter pulleys and back idlers. It is a dependable replacement belt for industrial, equipment and accessory drive applications.

Key Features:

• Patented EPDM construction: Gates' ethylene compound resists cracking, heat, oil, weathering and contaminants.
• Molded notches: Notches in the underside add flexibility, so the belt bends easily around small sheaves while keeping its strength and traction.
• Machined belt edge: The edge gives even contact with the sheave groove for smoother running, less slip and less wear.
• Flex-bonded tensile cords: The cords are bonded to the belt body to spread load evenly and handle shock loads and bending fatigue.
• Fiber-loaded rubber compound: The compound adds stability and flexibility.
• Standards compliance: The belt meets ARPM/RMA oil and heat resistance and static conductivity requirements.
• Self-ignition resistance: The material is engineered so the belt does not ignite from heat build-up, even with severe slippage.

Gates is a leading name in belts and power transmission products. The Tri-Power line helps cut downtime and re-tensioning, and it can allow a more compact drive design. Choose the belt size that matches your drive requirements.
