Speak with a Gates representative about the best solution for your drive needs.

As the world's largest V-belt manufacturer, Gates offers high quality V-belts and sheaves to match nearly any horsepower, speed, shock load, flex and operating condition.

If you're changing your belts more than once a year, it's time for a better solution.

Gates Super HC® V-belts with a narrow profile (3V, 5V and 8V) transmit up to three times more horsepower than classical section belts (A, B, C, D and E).

Predator® belts provide two times the horsepower of narrow V-belts and feature aramid or Kevlar® tensile cords to reduce stretch. Plus, they're proven to perform in harsh operating conditions.

Gates molded notch construction reduces bending stress on V-belts. Gates recently extended their selection to include an 8VX profile.

PowerBand® joined belts, designed to allow multiple belts to function as a single unit, increase lateral rigidity, reduce noise and help prevent rollover. Learn about the benefits of PowerBand.

V80® on most Gates V-belts indicates a tight matching tolerance that exceeds RMA guidelines. Learn more about V80 and the catenary effect.

Drive down costs by upgrading your aging or poor-performing V-belt drive. Ask a Gates engineer how you can start saving today.
