Gates B240 Hi-Power II Belt
Engineered for demanding industrial applications, the Gates B240 Hi-Power II V-Belt offers exceptional durability and performance. Its composite, multi-purpose construction resists oil, heat, ozone, sunlight, weather, and aging. Featuring Flex-Bonded Cords for equal load distribution and Gates Curves for proper cord support, this belt ensures uniform loading and wear. The Flex-Weave Cover provides extended protection against oil, dirt, and heat, while also offering static conductivity for use in potentially explosive environments. The machined belt edge ensures smooth running and reduced slip and wear, leading to longer belt life and reduced maintenance costs. This belt is suitable for all industrial applications, including v-flat drives.
