Gates K080817 Micro-V Belt Serpentine Drive Belt - 8-Rib

The Gates K080817 is an 8-rib Micro-V belt engineered for high-performance serpentine and multi-shaft drive applications. This belt features Gates' exclusive truncated rib profile, which provides 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 with truncated rib profile for enhanced flexibility
• Prevents belt bottoming in sheaves for consistent power transmission
• Debris-tolerant construction maintains performance even with contaminated grooves
• Reduced heat build-up extends belt service life
• Compatible with serpentine, multi-shaft, backside idler, and V-flat drive systems
• Precision-engineered for optimal fit and performance

This Micro-V belt is designed to deliver reliable performance in demanding automotive and industrial applications where flexibility, heat resistance, and consistent power transfer are critical. The advanced rib geometry ensures maximum contact with sheave grooves while minimizing wear and maintaining tension over extended service intervals.
