Gates AX53 Tri-Power Molded Notch V-Belt

Engineered for demanding industrial applications, the Gates AX53 Tri-Power Molded Notch V-Belt offers superior performance and durability. Its raw edge construction and specially designed molded notches reduce bending stress and dissipate heat, making it ideal for drives with small diameter pulleys and back idlers. Constructed with a patented ethylene EPDM compound, this belt resists cracking and handles extreme temperatures, while its composite, multi-purpose construction makes it resistant to oil, heat, contaminants, tensile and flexing forces, fatigue, and shock loads. The proprietary EPDM material is engineered to combat self-igniting, ensuring your operations continue even with severe slippage.

Technical Details
