This Gates Tri-Power belt is a V-belt for power transmission with a combination of load carrying capacity and flex.
Made of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber, it offers resistance to water, weathering, oils, and some solvents.
The cords are strongly bonded to the body of the belt for equal load distribution, reducing bending stress without deterioration of the cord.
Molded notches on the underside create the flexibility needed to fit smaller diameter sheaves while maintaining strength and traction.
The edge of the belt is machined for even sheave groove contact, resulting in less slip and wear.
It has a working temperature range of -60 to +250 degrees F, protecting the belt from cracking, and meets RMA oil and heat resistance standards along with static conductivity requirements.
Tri-Power belts are part of Gates' V80 matching system, ensuring that all belts of the same type and size are more precisely matched than the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) and International Standards Organization (ISO) standards require.
The result is even load distribution on multi-belt drives and better wear.
This V-belt is suitable for all industrial applications requiring small sheave diameters.
