3VX BELTS
When your power transmission application needs a high horsepower solution but is constrained by drive weight or physical space, the answer is Super HC® Molded Notch Belts. Our proprietary construction process provides a superior combination of flex and load-carrying capacity, transmitting up to three times the horsepower versus comparably sized belts. Super HC® MN V-belts put more power where high speeds, high-speed ratios or small pulley diameters are required, offering significant benefits over classical section V-belts. Developed through specialized research, Super HC® MN is highly recommended for use on all industrial heavy-duty, narrow section V-belt drives. With an increased transmission efficiency this belt allows for a more compact and highly economical drive design.
- Flex-bonded tensile cords are vulcanized as one solid unit making the belt highly resistant to tensile and flexing forces, fatigue and shock loads.
- Precision-ground straight sidewalls give a uniform wedging action and ensure the belt fits correctly in the pulley grooves.
- Molded Notches reduce and evenly distribute thermal and bending stresses.
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Suitable for all industrial applications, particularly where space, weight and horsepower capacity are critical.
A BOND FOR LIFE
Our proprietary manufacturing process and investments in material science created a power transmission solution that outperforms other options. Flex-Bonded Cords adhere strongly to the body of the belt, resulting in equal load distribution and absorption of bending stress without cord deterioration.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Machined belt edge provides maximum sheave groove contact for even wear and extended belt life.
- Proprietary Flex-Weave® cover protects the belt's interior from oil, contaminants, and heat.
- Promotes smoother, quieter operation, with less slippage and belt wear.
- The elastomeric compound protects the belt against heat, ozone, and sunlight.
- Even with severe slippage, the belt will not catch fire from heat build-up.
- Designed for high horsepower, space-constrained applications.
- Improved belt life reducing expensive maintenance time.
- Optimally constructed for small sheave diameter drives.
- The molded notch pattern also reduces noise.
- Patented Ethylene Material construction.
- Temperature Range: -70°F to +250°F (-30°C to +60°C).
- More compact design compared to classical section V-belts.
- Cost and space savings by reducing the size of pulleys, bearings, guards, and mounts.
- Match system: all sizes meet Gates UNISET tolerances; they can be installed without matching.
- Static conductive (ISO 1813) and can as such be used in the conditions described in the Directive 2014/34/EU- ATEX.
- REACH and RoHS 2 compliant.
TIGHT SPACES CALL FOR INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
Gates® Super HC® Molded Notch Belts are constructed from a patented ethylene material that provides high-temperature tolerance and exceptional strength. This enables our belts to deliver more horsepower, up to three times more, in less space, making them extremely versatile for a variety of manufacturing and field power transmission applications.
NOTES
Gates Super HC Molded Notch belts are available in 3VX and 5VX cross-sections.
