3VX450 Cogged V-Belt

When your power transmission application needs a high horsepower solution but is constrained by drive weight or physical space, the answer is Super HC Molded Notch belts. Our proprietary ethylene construction process provides a superior combination of flex and load-carrying capacity, transmitting up to three times the horsepower versus comparably sized belts. 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.

• Flex-bonded tensile cords are vulcanized as one solid unit making the belt highly resistant to tensile and flexing forces, fatigue and shock loads.
• Precision-ground straight sidewalls give a uniform wedging action and ensure the belt fits correctly in the pulley grooves, which improves belt life and reduces expensive maintenance time.
• Patented Ethylene compound and optimized notches molded into the belt during manufacturing increase flexibility and transmission efficiency, which allows for a more compact and highly economical drive design by reducing size of pulleys, bearings, guards and mounts.
• Recommended for use on all industrial heavy-duty, narrow section V-belt drives. All sizes meet Gates V80 system matching tolerances.
• Meets ARPM/RMA IP-3-2 oil and heat resistant standards and IP-3-3 static conductivity requirements.REACH and RoHS 2 compliant.

A BOND FOR LIFE

Our proprietary manufacturing process and investments in material science created a power transmission solution that outperforms other options. Flex-Bonded Cords adhere strongly to the body of the belt, resulting in equal load distribution and absorption of bending stress without cord deterioration.

Features and Benefits

• Machined belt edge provides maximum sheave groove contact for even wear and extended belt life.
• Proprietary Flex-Weave cover protects the belt's interior from oil, contaminants, and heat.
• Promotes smoother, quieter operation, with less slippage and belt wear.
• Elastomeric compound protects the belt against heat, ozone and sunlight.
• Even with severe slippage, the belt will not catch fire from heat build-up.
• Designed for high horsepower, space-constrained applications.
• Improved belt life reducing expensive maintenance time.
• Optimally constructed for small sheave diameter drives.
• The molded notch pattern also reduces noise.
• Patented Ethylene Material construction.
• Temperature Range: -30°C to +60°C (-70°F to +250°F).
• More compact design compared to classical section V-belts.
• Cost and space savings by reducing size of pulleys, bearings, guards and mounts.
• Match system: all sizes meet Gates UNISET tolerances, they can be installed without matching.
• Static conductive (ISO 1813) and can as such be used in the conditions described in the Directive 2014/34/EU- ATEX.
• REACH and RoHS 2 compliant.

TIGHT SPACES CALL FOR INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

Gates Super HC Molded Notch Belts are constructed from a patented ethylene material that provides high temperature tolerance and exceptional strength.
