Gates Belts & Drive Products
AIMS Industrial is a stocking distributor of Gates industrial belts, automotive belts and drive accessories. Gates is the world's leading manufacturer of power transmission belts, with over a century of engineering behind products trusted in mining, agriculture, manufacturing, automotive and general industry worldwide.
Industrial V-Belts
Gates Hi-Power II classical wrapped V-belts span the full classical section range — Z, A, B, C, D and E — covering everything from small machinery drives through to the highest power industrial applications. Banded configurations (AA, BB, CC, DD) use multiple belts joined in a single unit to handle high-torque drives and eliminate belt whip. For drives with shock loads or space constraints, the Tri-Power cogged (notched) AX and BX belts deliver improved flexibility and heat dissipation. Super HC narrow section 3V belts handle high-power compact drives. Predator aramid cord belts are the choice for abrasive or slipping environments. Light duty drives are served by the PoweRated and Truflex ranges in 3L, 4L and 5L sections.
Synchronous Timing Belts
Gates PowerGrip HTD belts in 3M, 5M, 8M and 14M sections provide accurate synchronous power transmission for indexing, positioning and high-torque drives. PowerGrip GT4 (8MGT, 14MGT) curvilinear tooth profile belts deliver the highest power density in the Gates industrial range with reduced noise and vibration. PolyChain GT Carbon belts replace roller chain in demanding applications, eliminating lubrication and offering significantly longer service life. Synchro-Power polyurethane belts in T5, T10, AT5 and AT10 suit precision automation drives.
Micro-V & Automotive Belts
Gates Micro-V FleetRunner serpentine belts serve heavy duty truck and automotive applications. PowerGrip automotive timing belts are manufactured in HNBR for extended service life. TBS kit packs combine belt and tensioner bearing as a complete replacement solution. Green Stripe heavy duty truck belts in RA and TA sections are available for commercial vehicle fleet maintenance.
Drive Accessories & Tools
Gates offers a complete accessory range: Krikit and barrel-type belt tension gauges for correct drive tensioning, the DriveAlign laser alignment tool for pulley alignment, and belt and pulley gauge sets for measuring worn or unknown sections. Correct belt tension and pulley alignment are the two most common causes of premature belt failure — the right tools make both straightforward.
