Overview
The Gates 3/3VX900 is a Super HC PowerBand molded notch V-belt designed for demanding industrial power transmission applications. It transmits up to three times the horsepower versus comparably sized belts, making it an ideal choice for heavy-duty drives operating under high speeds or with small pulley diameters. By joining several Super HC V-belts together, the Super HC PowerBand offers a maintenance-free solution for drives where single belts vibrate, turn over or jump off the pulleys.
Key Features
- Super HC molded notch construction with synthetic rubber-polychloroprene material and polyester reinforcing cord
- PowerBand construction is built as one solid unit, controlling the belt-to-belt distance and preventing sideways bending
- Oil resistant with operating temperature range of -60 to 250 °F
- Meets ARPM/RMA IP-3-2 oil and heat resistant standards and IP-3-3 static conductivity requirements; REACH and RoHS 2 compliant
- Part of Gates’ V80 matching system, which guarantees more precise matching than RMA and ISO standards require
- Flex-Weave cover provides extended protection to the belt core from oil, dirt and heat
Technical Specifications
The Gates 3/3VX900 incorporates heavy-duty materials and construction for extended service life in industrial environments:
Typical Applications
Recommended for use on all industrial heavy-duty, narrowsection V-belt drives. Super HC MN V-belts put more power where high speeds, high-speed ratios or small pulley diameters are required, offering significant benefits over classical section V-belts, and is highly recommended for use on all industrial heavy-duty, narrow section V-belt drives. This V-belt is suitable for use with multiple V-belt drives exposed to pulsating or heavy shock loads that can make belts whip, turn over, or jump off the drive.
