Gates Industrial V-Belts, Synchronous Belts & Power Transmission Accessories

Gates is the world's most trusted name in power transmission belts, having invented the V-belt, the name is synonymous with engineering V-belts, synchronous belts (timing belts) and drive accessories that keep industrial machinery running reliably across mining, manufacturing, agriculture and heavy equipment. AIMS Industrial stocks a comprehensive range of Gates belts in Australia, with options spanning classical wrapped V-belts, cogged notched belts, synchronous timing belts, predator aramid belts, polychain belts and automotive micro V-belts. Whether you're maintaining a conveyor drive, replacing a worn belt on heavy plant, maintaining agricultural equipment, or speccing up a new drive system, Gates has the product.

Industrial V-Belts for Heavy Machinery & Equipment

Gates industrial V-belts are engineered for high-load, continuous-duty applications — the kind of hard work that demands consistency and resistance to heat, oil and flex fatigue. AIMS stocks multiple Gates belt series to suit the full range of drive configurations:

• Gates Hi-Power II Classical Wrapped V Belt – A Section: The industry-standard wrapped V-belt for general industrial drives; available in A, B and Z sections to suit a wide variety of sheave widths. These belts will support use of a back idler.
• Gates Tri-Power Notched (Cogged) Classical Section Belt – BX Section: Cogged design reduces bending stress and heat build-up, giving longer service life on smaller diameter sheaves and high-torque drives. Not suitable for oily environments which will shorten belt life.
• Gates Tri-Power Notched (Cogged) Classical Section Belt – AX Section: Same proven Tri-Power cogged construction in the AX profile for industrial and HVAC applications
• Gates Truflex Light Duty V Belt – 3L Section: A fractional horsepower belt for light industrial equipment, compressors and small drive systems
• Gates PoweRated Light Duty V Belt – 5L Section: Designed for demanding light-duty drives where a step up in power rating and durability is required
• Gates Predator Aramid Belt Narrow Section – SPB Section: Gates' premium aramid-reinforced V-belt for extreme heavy-duty applications; aramid fibre construction delivers exceptional resistance to shock loads, high temperatures and aggressive mining and quarrying environments where standard V-belts fail prematurely
• Gates SPC Predator Aramid Belt Narrow Section: SPC profile Predator aramid belt for large industrial drives; the narrow section profile delivers higher power ratings in a compact drive envelope, making it ideal for heavy plant, crusher drives and high-torque mining equipment

PolyChain GT Carbon, Synchronous Belts & Belt Tensioning Tools

For drives where chain is currently used but noise, lubrication and maintenance cost are a concern, Gates PolyChain GT Carbon is the upgrade of choice in mining and heavy industry. Combined with Gates' PowerGrip synchronous belt range and precision tensioning tools, AIMS can supply everything needed to build and maintain high-performance drive systems:

• Gates Poly Chain GT Carbon Belt – 8MGT Section: The gold standard in chain replacement belt drives; carbon fibre tension members deliver exceptional strength and dimensional stability, while the polyurethane body resists oil, chemicals and temperature extremes — making it the preferred choice for mining conveyors, crusher drives and high-cycle industrial machinery
• Gates Poly Chain GT Carbon Belt – 14MGT Section: Larger pitch PolyChain GT Carbon for high-torque, low-speed drive applications; delivers roller chain-equivalent power transmission without the lubrication, stretch or noise associated with chain drives
• PowerGrip GT4 Rubber Synchronous Belt (8MGT): Gates' premium rubber synchronous belt for precision power transmission; no-slip tooth engagement makes it ideal for servo drives, CNC equipment and conveyors requiring exact timing
• Gates Fleetrunner Heavy Duty Micro V Belt – HC 50 Section: Purpose-built for heavy-duty truck and fleet vehicle accessory drives; extended service life reduces downtime on commercial vehicles and plant equipment
• Gates Tension Tester 15kg (7401-0076): Accurate belt tension measurement tool for V-belt drives; correct tension is critical to belt life and bearing longevity, eliminating both under-tension slip and over-tension bearing load
