Overview
The Gates 2/5VX670 Super HC PowerBand V-Belt is a heavy-duty, 2-strand banded V-belt designed for industrial power transmission applications where single belts fail. This 5/8″ × 67″ belt features molded notches and is made of EPDM rubber with a polyester belt back, providing durability and reliable performance in demanding environments.
Key Features
- Multiple V-belts joined together by a permanent, high-strength tie band that functions as a single unit with superior flex and load capacity
- Tie band assures high lateral rigidity, guiding the belt in a straight line and preventing it from coming off the drive
- Molded notches increase flexibility, making this belt well-suited for drives with smaller diameter sheaves
- Flex-Weave cover provides extended protection to the belt core from oil, dirt and heat
- EPDM material provides temperature range from -51°C to +121°C (-60°F to +250°F)
- Flex-Bonded tensile cords are strongly bonded to the belt body, resulting in equal load distribution and absorption of bending stress without cord deterioration
Technical Specifications

Typical Applications
Gates Super HC PowerBand belts are engineered for drives where single belts vibrate, turn over, or jump off the pulleys, and work best for operations subjected to pulsating loads. Common applications include:
- Heavy-duty industrial machinery and equipment
- Manufacturing and processing equipment exposed to shock loads
- Material handling and conveying systems
- Agricultural equipment and implements
- Drives requiring high stability and smooth operation
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Standard 5VX sheave drives and pulley systems
- Industrial equipment with 5/8″ belt groove width
- Heavy-duty industrial automation systems
- Multi-strand V-belt drive systems
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
This 2-strand PowerBand configuration directly replaces single 5VX670 belts in applications where belt stability and turnover prevention are required. Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering to ensure proper pulley groove sizing and alignment.
Works With
- Standard 5VX pulley grooves and sheaves
- Agricultural and industrial drive systems
- Equipment requiring EPDM rubber material compatibility
- Applications needing static conductive belt properties
