Overview
The Gates A76 Hi-Power II V-Belt is a classical wrapped A-section V-belt engineered for dependable power transmission across industrial and agricultural applications. With part number 9002-2076, this belt combines proven design with modern material science to deliver consistent performance, reduced maintenance costs, and extended belt life.
Key Features
- EPDM Material: Made of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber for resistance to weathering, oils, water, and some solvents
- Flex-Bonded Construction: Proprietary core material blend that strongly bonds the polyester cords to the body of the belt, resulting in uniform load distribution and absorption of bending stress without cord deterioration
- Flex-Weave Cover: Patented single layer fabric construction for longer cover life, protecting the belt core from oil, dirt, and heat
- Arched Top Design: Arched top of the Hi-Power belt provides superior strength to prevent “dishing” and distortion of the tensile section
- Gates Curves: Belt cross-section has been optimized to provide proper cord support and full contact with the pulley to provide uniform loading, uniform wear, and increased belt life
- V80 Matching System: All belts of the same type and size will be more precisely matched than the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) and International Standards Organization (ISO) standards require
