Gates Accessory Drive Belt 5VX550

A component of the external engine that transfers power to accessory pulleys by rotation. (5VX550) by Gates

Super HC Molded Notch V-Belts provide the solution for highhorsepower in limited drive weight or space applications. Our proprietary construction process provides a superior combination of flex and load-carrying capacity, transmitting up to 3X the horsepower versus comparably sized belts. With increased transmission efficiency this belt allows for a more compact and highly economical drive design.

• Promotes smoother, quieter operation, with less slippage and belt wear for improved belt life reducing expensive maintenance time
• More compact design compared to classical section V-belts and optimally designed for high horsepower, space-constrained applications with small pulley diameter drives
• Proprietary Flex-Weave cover is a patented fabric construction, providing extended protection to the belt core from oil, contaminants and heat for longer belt life
• Flex-bonded cords are strongly forged to the belt body, resulting in equal load distribution, resistance to fatigue and shock loads and the absorption of bending stress without cord deterioration
• Precision-ground straight sidewalls give a uniform wedging action and ensure the belt fits correctly in the pulley grooves for even wear and extended belt life
• Molded notches reduce and evenly distribute thermal and bending stresses and reduce noise
• Patented Ethylene Elastomeric compound construction protects belt against heat, ozone and sunlight
• Meets ARPM/RMA IP-3-2 oil and heat resistance standards and ARPM/RMA IP-3-3 static conductivity requirements
• Temperature Range: -70 Deg. F to +250 Deg. F (-57 Deg. C to +121 Deg. C)

NOTE: Available in 3VX, 5VX, and 8VX cross-sections as well as Super HC Molded Notch PowerBand joined V-belts.
