Description

With a proprietary construction, Gates Tri-Power PowerBand belt has a superior combination of flex and load carrying capacity. This belt is engineered to transmit more horsepower than the classic cross sections in the same amount of drive space.

Markets/Applications

Suitable for all industrial applications particularly where space, weight, and horsepower capacity are critical.

Features/Advantages

  • Notches molded into the belt during manufacturing make this belt well suited for drives with smaller diameter sheaves
  • Belt Edge is machined for even sheave groove contact resulting in smooth operation, less slip and wear
  • Flex-Bonded Cords are strongly bonded to the body of the belt resulting in equal load distribution and the absorption of bending stress without cord deterioration
  • Patented Ethylene Material construction provides -60 degrees F to +250 degrees F temperature range to resist belt cracking
  • 15 percent capacity increase over wrapped belts
  • Meets RMA oil and heat resistant standards
  • Meets RMA static conductivity requirements

Recommended Sheaves

  • Multi-Duty Sheaves (B, C)
