This Gates Super HC notched power transmission V-belt reduces bending stress as the belt wraps around small diameter pulleys. It is made of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber for resistance to weathering, oils, water, and some solvents. Its cords are bonded to the body are strongly bonded to the body of the belt for equal load distribution and reducing bending stress without deterioration of the cord. Notches molded into the underside create the flexibility needed to fit smaller diameter sheaves while maintaining strength and traction. The belt’s edge is machined for even sheave groove contact, resulting in less slip and wear. It has a working temperature range of -65 to +250 degrees F to protect the belt from cracking and meets RMA oil and heat resistance standards and static conductivity requirements. Super HC belts are part of Gates’ V80 matching system, which guarantees that all belts of the same type and size will be more precisely matched than the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) and International Standards Organization (ISO) standards require. The result is even load distribution on multi-belt drives and better wear. This V-belt is suitable for use in all industrial applications in which space, weight, and horsepower capacity are critical.
