Gates stretch fit belts may look like standard V-ribbed belts but inside they are dramatically different. The secret is Gates new TwistLock Technology where the strength and flexibility of advanced polyamide tensile cord is surrounded by a specially formulated adhesive that literally locks on to the cord- allowing the cord to elongate and stretch but never lose tension. 

 Silent running

 Fibre-loaded compound damps possible misalignment noise 

Optimal profile offers smooth belt-to-pulley contact

Excellent flexibility

 The low belt profile offers increased belt stability and reduced slip

Tensile cords from polyester prevent elongation

Ideal for smaller pulleys and shorter span lengths now found in 

the more powerful and compact engines 

Resistant to flex fatigue

Durable

 Fibre-reinforced EPDM compound guarantees optimum performance 

under high/low temperatures 

EPDM is highly effective against pilling, oil drops and ozone

High wear resistant back fabric 

Polyester tensile cords for high load-carrying capacity at high tensions

Specially designed to replace original equipment belts on extra heavy applications such as machine tools, compressors, pumping equipment and other industrial equipment requiring V-ribbed belts.

 #. Exclusive Gates truncated belt design offers up to 80% higher horsepower capacity than Rubber Manufacturer's Association standards.   

  #. Increased flexibility and reduced heat buildup permit extra high speeds on smaller diameter sheaves.

#.  Highly resistant to oil, heat and other adverse conditions.   

#. Less sensitive to debris in sheave groove.  

#. Meets or exceeds Rubber Manufacturer's Association standards for static conductivity.

#.  Energy efficient.

#. Runs cooler than conventional belts.

#.  High power density.
