Gates BX99 Tri-Power Molded Notch V-Belt

Engineered for superior performance on heavy-duty industrial drives, the Gates BX99 Tri-Power Molded Notch V-Belt is built with a patented ethylene EPDM compound for exceptional resistance to cracking and extreme temperatures. Its raw edge construction and specially designed notches enhance flexibility, making it ideal for drives with small diameter pulleys and back idlers. The machined belt edge ensures even sheave groove contact for smoother operation, reduced slippage, and extended wear life. Flex-Bonded tensile cords provide equal load distribution and absorb bending stress without cord deterioration, ensuring durability and reliability in demanding environments. This belt is resistant to oil, heat, contaminants, tensile and flexing forces, fatigue, and shock loads, and its proprietary EPDM material is engineered to resist self-ignition from heat build-up.
