AX26 GATES BELT

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, oils, weathering, and some solvents.

The cords are strongly bonded to the body of the belt for equal load distribution and to reduce bending stress without deterioration of the cord.

Molded notches on the underside create the needed flexibility to fit smaller diameter sheaves while maintaining strength and traction.

The edge of the belt is machined for even sheave groove contact, resulting in reduced wear and less slip.

It has a working temperature range of -60 to +250 degrees F to protect against cracking and meets RMA oil and heat resistance standards along with static conductivity requirements.

Tri-Power belts are part of Gates' V80 matching system, resulting in even load distribution on multi-belt drives and better wear.

This V-belt is suitable for all industrial applications requiring small sheave diameters.

V-belts, also known as fan belts in automotive applications, link two or more rotating shafts to transmit power in a drive system.

The trapezoidal shape of the belt's cross section wedges into the groove of a similarly shaped sheave or pulley to provide alignment and traction.

This wedging action increases as the load increases, allowing for higher torque transmission and minimal slippage.

V-belts are standard for belt-driven power transmission and can be used in single- or multi-belt systems for increased carrying power.

They are found in drive systems across various industries, including automotive, agricultural, textile, printing, mining, and office equipment.
