Gates Tri-Power Belt

By Gates

The Gates Tri-Power Belt is the perfect solution for compact drive systems requiring high performance and reliability. Designed for small sheave diameters, this bandless, molded-notch V-belt enhances power transmission, reduces maintenance, and extends equipment lifespan. Whether driving compressors, pumps, or other critical machinery, the Tri-Power belt delivers smooth operation and long-lasting durability, making it the ideal replacement belt without the need for a full system overhaul.


Features

  • Designed for Small Sheaves & High Efficiency: The notched design enhances flexibility, making it ideal for drives with tight space constraints. It maintains even contact with sheave grooves, ensuring smooth power transmission, reduced slip, and minimal wear, resulting in lower maintenance costs.
  • Superior Strength & Load Distribution: Built with flex-bonded tensile cords, the belt provides uniform load distribution and excellent shock resistance. The cords are forged into the belt body, preventing deterioration and ensuring long-lasting performance, even under high-stress conditions.
  • Heavy-Duty, Heat & Oil Resistant Construction: Constructed from proprietary EPDM material, the belt resists oil, heat, and contaminants. Unlike conventional belts, it is designed to prevent self-ignition from heat buildup, ensuring safety and reliability in harsh operating environments.
  • Cost & Space Savings: The Tri-Power™ Belt allows for smaller pulleys, bearings, guards, and mounts, reducing overall system footprint and optimizing power transmission efficiency. It provides a drop-in replacement solution, eliminating the need for costly drive redesigns.
