Gates new, patented EPDM construction for molded notch V-belts is a high-performance synthetic rubber compound known for ozone, heat and weather resistance.
Gates V-belts made with this exclusive EPDM construction offer greater efficiency, saving you money and maintenance headaches.
Longer life at extreme temperatures:
• EPDM belts resist hardening to avoid cracking.
• They offer 70% broader temperature range (-60°F to +230°F) compared to other belts.
• They meet RMA standards for oil and heat resistance as well as static conductivity.
Greater efficiency:
• Bandless, molded notch construction saves up to 3% on energy costs.
• Specially engineered molded notch shape reduces bending.
• Belts show improved flexibility for increased performance on small pulley diameters.
Smoother running:
• Precision machined belt side walls reduce vibration for extended component life.
• Flex-bonded cords stay stable and resist stretch better than ever.
• EPDM belts tolerate misalignment better than the competition.
