Gates BX92 Tri-Power Molded Notch V-Belt
Engineered for superior performance on heavy-duty drives, the Gates BX92 Tri-Power Molded Notch V-Belt features a raw edge construction and special notch design, making it ideal for applications with small diameter pulleys and back idlers. Its patented ethylene EPDM compound construction provides exceptional resistance to cracking and extreme temperatures, ensuring reliable operation. The machined belt edge promotes even sheave groove contact for smoother running, reduced slip, and extended wear life. Flex-Bonded tensile cords are integrated for equal load distribution and absorption of bending stress without cord deterioration, offering a 15% capacity increase over wrapped belts. This belt is suitable for all industrial applications, especially those requiring small or sub-minimal sheave diameters, and meets ARPM/RMA IP-3-2 oil and heat resistant standards and IP-3-3 static conductivity requirements.
Technical Details
