Gates 90982096 2/BX96 Tri-Power PowerBand Belts

Gates 90982096 2/BX96 Tri-Power PowerBand Belts Built for superior performance on heavy duty classical cross-section drives. The raw edge, Ethylene Elastomer construction and special notch design makes the Tri-Power belt especially suited for small diameter pulleys and back side idler drives. Belt edge is machined for even sheave groove contact, resulting in smoother running, less slip and wear. Flex-bonded cords are strongly forged to the belt body, resulting in equal load distribution and absorption of bending stress without cord deterioration. 15% capacity increase over wrapped belts. Notches molded into the belt during manufacturing increase flexibility, making this belt well suited for drives with smaller diameter sheaves. Suitable for all industrial applications, particularly where small or sub-minimal sheave diameters are required. Meets ARPM/RMA IP-3-2 oil and heat resistant standards and IP-3-3 static conductivity requirements.REACH and RoHS 2 compliant. Perfect Belts for Imperfect Conditions. Over time, belts fail from heat cracks, stretching, or excessive wear. Belt re-tensioning and replacement leads to downtime, inefficiency, and loss of productivity. Our molded notch V-belts, including the Tri-Power belt line, offer a patented, new ethylene construction to keep your operations running when other belts fail. Longer Life at Extreme Temperatures. Ethylene rubber material (EPDM) resists hardening to avoid cracking with 88% broader temperature range compared to other belt materials, with a range from -51°C to +121°C (-60°F to +250°F). Gates Tri-Power PowerBand belts meet ARPM/RMA standards for oil and heat resistance as well as static conductivity.
