Gates B104 Hi-Power II V-Belt B Section 107 Inch

The Gates B104 Hi-Power II V-Belt is a heavy-duty wrapped classical V-belt designed for reliable power transmission in agricultural and industrial applications. This B Section belt features a 107-inch outside circumference, 21/32-inch (5/8-inch) width, and 13/32-inch height, making it suitable for a wide range of machinery and equipment drives.

Advanced Construction Features:

• Flex-Weave Cover: Patented single-layer fabric construction provides extended protection against oil, dirt, and heat while enabling use in clutching applications
• Flex-Bonded Cords: Proprietary polyester cord design strongly bonded to the belt body ensures uniform load distribution and absorbs bending stress without cord deterioration
• Gates Curves Design: Optimized cross-section with concave sidewalls and rounded corners provides proper cord support and full contact with sheave grooves for uniform loading, uniform wear, and increased belt life
• EPDM Rubber Compound: High-quality material resists oil, heat, ozone, sunlight, weathering, and aging while preventing self-ignition even under severe slippage conditions

Performance Benefits:

• Part of the Gates V80 Matching System for precision-matched multiple belt drives without requiring individual match codes
• Meets ARPM/RMA IP-3-2 oil and heat resistant standards and IP-3-3 static conductivity requirements
• Temperature range: -22°F to +140°F (-30°C to +60°C)
• Static conductive per ISO 1813 and ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU compliant
• REACH and RoHS 2 compliant
• Machined belt edges for even sheave groove contact, reducing slip and wear

The arched top design prevents "dishing" and distortion of the tensile section, ensuring optimal cord alignment where each cord carries its full share of the load. This results in superior performance, extended service life, and reduced maintenance costs in demanding industrial and agricultural power transmission applications.
