Gates K080820 Micro-V Belt Serpentine Drive Belt - 8-Rib

The Gates K080820 is an 8-rib Micro-V serpentine belt engineered for high-performance multi-ribbed drive applications. This belt features Gates' exclusive truncated rib profile technology that delivers superior flexibility compared to conventional V-ribbed belts, making it ideal for extra-high speed drives and small-diameter sheave applications.

Key Features:

• 8-rib Micro-V configuration for multi-shaft serpentine drives
• Truncated rib profile prevents bottoming out in sheave grooves
• Enhanced flexibility for small-diameter pulley systems
• Superior debris tolerance in sheave grooves reduces maintenance
• Reduced heat build-up extends belt service life
• Compatible with serpentine, backside idler, and V-flat drive configurations

The shortened rib design ensures consistent power transmission while tolerating contamination and debris that would cause premature failure in standard V-ribbed belts. This makes the K080820 an excellent choice for demanding automotive, industrial, and machinery applications requiring reliable multi-rib belt performance.
