Overview
The Gates 5VX850 Super HC Molded Notch Belt is a premium industrial-grade power transmission belt engineered for heavy-duty applications requiring compact drive design and high horsepower transmission. This cogged V-belt features narrow 5VX dimensions, making it ideal for machinery with space constraints or high-speed requirements.
Key Features
- Notched (cogged) construction for improved flexibility, better heat dissipation, and higher efficiency on smaller pulleys
- Proprietary construction provides superior combination of flex and load-carrying capacity, transmitting up to three times the horsepower versus comparably sized belts
- Constructed from patented ethylene material that provides high-temperature tolerance and exceptional strength
- Made of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber for resistance to weathering, oils, water, and some solvents
- Edge is machined for even sheave groove contact resulting in less slip and wear
- Part of Gates’ V80 matching system, guaranteeing belts of the same type and size are more precisely matched than RMA and ISO standards require
