Overview
The Gates 5VX1000 Super HC Molded Notch V-Belt is engineered for high-horsepower power transmission in applications where drive weight and physical space are critical constraints. Built with patented ethylene elastomeric compound construction, this cogged narrow-section belt delivers superior flex and load-carrying capacity, transmitting up to three times the horsepower versus comparably sized classical V-belts.
Key Features
- Molded Notch Design: Narrow cogged construction optimizes flexibility and transmission efficiency
- Superior Horsepower Capacity: Proprietary construction provides superior flex and load-carrying capacity, transmitting up to three times the horsepower versus comparably sized belts
- Compact & Space-Efficient: More compact design compared to classical section V-belts with cost and space savings by reducing the size of pulleys, bearings, guards, and mounts
- Temperature & Chemical Resistant: Patented ethylene elastomeric compound protects belt against heat, ozone and sunlight with temperature range -70 to 250 degrees F
- Industrial-Grade Standards: Meets ARPM/RMA IP-3-2 oil and heat resistant standards and IP-3-3 static conductivity requirements
- Standardized Tolerances: All sizes meet Gates UNISET tolerances and can be installed without matching
