BB168 GAT

Gates Curves provide proper cord support and full contact with the sheave-groove for uniform loading, uniform wear, and increased belt life. Fully wrapped construction, eliminates debris and dust concerns found in competitive double notch belts. Flex-Bonded cords are strongly bonded to the body of the belt resulting in equal load distribution and the absorption of bending stress without cord deterioration. Flex-Weave™ oil and heat resistant cover protects the belt core from the toughest environments. Ideal solution for "serpentine" drives (drives with counter rotating shafts) where power is transmitted from both the top and the bottom of the belts. Field tests prove Gates belts run 3-6 months and more compared to similar competitor belts that last only 1-3 weeks. All sizes meet Gates V80® system matching tolerances. Meets ARPM/RMA IP-3-2 oil and heat resistant standards and IP-3-3 static conductivity requirements. REACH and RoHS 2 compliant.
