Gates B98 Hi-Power II V-Belt

Gates B98 Hi-Power II V-Belt

The Gates B98 Hi-Power II V-Belt is engineered for demanding industrial and agricultural applications. Featuring a composite, multi-purpose construction, this belt offers exceptional resistance to oil, heat, ozone, sunlight, weather, and aging. Its EPDM material is designed to combat self-igniting, preventing fire from heat buildup even with severe slippage. The Flex-Bonded Cords ensure equal load distribution and absorb bending stress without cord deterioration, while Gates Curves provide proper cord support and full contact with the sheave-groove for uniform loading, wear, and extended belt life. The Flex-Weave Cover offers superior durability and protection against oil, dirt, and heat, and the belt is static conductive, making it suitable for ATEX environments. It meets RMA oil and heat resistant standards and static conductivity requirements, providing reliability and efficiency.
