OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Featuring composite, multi-purpose construction, Gates® Hi-Power II® B197 Belt resists oil, heat, ozone, sunlight, weather, and aging. Gates® has engineered the EPDM belt material to combat self-igniting, meaning your belt won’t catch fire from heat buildup even with severe slippage.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Flex-Bonded Cords are strongly bound to the body of the belt, resulting in equal load distribution and absorption of bending stress without cord deterioration.
• Gates® Curves provide proper cord support and full contact with the sheave-groove for uniform loading, uniform wear, and increased belt life.
• The Flex-Weave® Cover is constructed for longer cover life, providing extended protection to the core of the belt from oil, dirt, and heat.
• Static conductive (ISO 1813) and can as such be used in the conditions described in the Directive 2014/34/EU- ATEX.
• Belt Edge is machined for even sheave groove contact, resulting in smoother running and less slip and wear.
• Match system: All sizes meet Gates UNISET tolerances; they can be installed without matching.
• Meets RMA oil and heat resistant standards and static conductivity requirements.
• High-quality rubber compound protects the belt against heat, ozone and sunlight.
• The belt will not catch fire from heat buildup, even with severe slippage.
• Long belt life reducing replacement and maintenance costs.
• Temperature Range: -22°F to +140°F (-30°C to +60°C).
• Excellent performance/cost ratio.
• REACH and RoHS 2 compliant.
• Reliability and efficiency.

LESS STRESS. MORE POWER.

Gates® Flex-Weave® oil and heat resistant cover is designed with built-in static connectivity to protect your belt core from the toughest operating environments. The proprietary, woven Flex-Weave® fabric increases the angle facing the direction of pull, developing even less stress for a given amount of bending.

APPLICATION

Gates B197 Hi-Power II® belts are suitable for all industrial applications, including v-flat drives.

EXPLAINING THE PART NUMBER

B -The B stands for a “B” section v-belt.  This is considered a “Classic” v-belt style that has a top width of 21/32 (0.656) (5/8 (.0625)) inches and a thickness of 13/32 (0.406) inches.
197 -The "197 stands for the inside circumference of the belt. For B-class of V-Belts, the outside circumference is found by adding 3 to the inside circumference of the belt. For the B197 Hi-Power II Single V-Belt, the O.C. is 200 inches.
