Gates 55Vx800 Super Hc Molded Notch Powerband Belt 5Vx Section 318 Overall This gates super hc notched banded power transmission vbelt 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. A highstrength tie band permanently joins two or more belts to provide lateral rigidity guiding the belt in a straight line and preventing iting off the drive. This powerband construction allows multiple belts to function as a single unit with even load distribution and each strand fitting securely in the sheave groove. It has a working temperature range of 65 to 250 degrees f to protect the belt from cracking and meets
