Gates 6957 PoweRated V-Belt 5L570K 57 Inch

The Gates 6957 PoweRated V-Belt is a high-performance fractional horsepower belt designed to deliver superior power transmission in demanding applications. This belt features a distinctive green bareback construction with aramid tensile cord reinforcement, measuring 57 inches in length with a 21/32 inch (approximately 11/16 inch) top width in the 5L section profile.

Key Features:

• High-performance construction delivers more horsepower, less stretch, and longer service life than conventional light-duty belts
• Low-positioned aramid tensile cord in thin profile provides extreme flexibility, limited stretch, and extraordinary strength
• Proprietary Flex-Weave cover protects belt core from oil, contaminants, and heat for extended belt life
• High-quality rubber compound resists heat, ozone, and sunlight damage for smooth running with reduced slip and wear
• Distinct green color bareback design ensures smooth clutching on shock-loaded, backside idler-driven equipment
• Meets RMA oil and heat-resistant standards with temperature range of -22°F to +140°F (-30°C to +60°C)

Ideal for outdoor power equipment, lawn and garden machinery, appliances, and industrial applications where fractional horsepower belts are required. Recommended for heavy-duty drives and clutching applications with high power demands, heavy shock load absorption, and back idler configurations.
