Gates K080944 Micro-V Serpentine Belt - 8-Rib

The Gates K080944 is an 8-rib Micro-V serpentine belt engineered for high-performance multi-shaft and serpentine drive applications. This belt features Gates' exclusive truncated rib profile that delivers superior flexibility compared to conventional V-ribbed belts, making it ideal for extra-high speed drives and small-diameter sheave configurations.

Key Features:

• 8-rib Micro-V design for excellent power transmission
• Truncated rib profile prevents bottoming out in sheave grooves
• Enhanced flexibility for tight routing and small pulleys
• Reduced heat build-up for extended service life
• Debris-tolerant design maintains performance in contaminated environments
• Suitable for serpentine, multi-shaft, backside idler, and V-flat drives

Gates Micro-V Belts are constructed with advanced materials that resist wear, heat, and cracking while maintaining consistent tension over time. The shortened rib profile ensures optimal contact with sheave grooves without bottoming out, which improves efficiency and extends both belt and sheave life. This belt is an excellent choice for demanding automotive, industrial, and heavy-duty applications requiring reliable power transmission.
