Gates PowerBand Predator Belt 5, 2/5VP600
Available
This is the Gates PowerBand Predator Belt Narrow Section - 5V Section.
The Gates Predator 5V section is a premium narrow V-belt designed for the most demanding industrial drives. Predator belts deliver higher power ratings in the same drive envelope as standard belts, reducing the number of belt strands required and cutting drive operating costs, items 9181-2060 to 9181-5355.

Key specifications
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Brand | Gates |
| Belt Section | 5V |
| Series | Predator PowerBand, Predator aramid-cord belts joined into a matched multi-rib set with a tie band |
| Construction | Wrapped, aramid-cord V-belt. Flex-bonded aramid tensile cords are pound-for-pound stronger than steel and combine limited stretch with extraordinary strength and durability, giving roughly half the stretch of a standard polyester-cord Gates belt for markedly higher power density and easy handling of shock loads. Double-layer bareback cover protects against slippage and punctures, resists debris, and allows the belt to slip under extreme shock-load conditions without excessive heat buildup, prolonging belt life. Gates Curves profile gives proper cord support and full contact with the sheave groove for equal loading, uniform wear and increased belt life. Premium rubber compound, non-self-igniting. Multiple-layer tie band provides excellent lateral rigidity to prevent belts from turning over or coming off the drive, and keeps the set matched as one unit, static conductive (ISO 1813) on SPB and SPC PowerBand sizes |
| Rib Pitch | 17.46mm |
| Nominal Dimensions (Width x Height, per rib) | 17 x 13mm |
| Temperature Range | -35°C to +80°C |
| Performance | Up to 2.2x more power than a standard V-belt of the same section, up to 67% reduced drive width, up to 50% reduced drive weight, up to 35% reduced drive cost versus a standard-belt drive of equivalent power, no increase in shaft load, reduces overhung loads, lets a standard SPB/SPC pulley replace a costly made-to-order 8V belt-drive pulley (Gates) |
Choosing the right option
Select by belt section first, then by pitch length. Classical sections run A, B, C, D, E (or Z in metric), cross-reference to the metric ISO equivalent (13A, 17A, 22A) where needed. Narrow sections (3V/SPA, 5V/SPB, 8V/SPC) carry more power in the same envelope. The XP series (XPZ/XPA/XPB/XPC) are notched versions for improved flex efficiency. Gates PowerBand banded belts join multiple strands, specify these for long centre distances, vertical drives or where belt whip is an issue. Automotive Micro-V drives use the K section, see our automotive Micro-V range and match by OE reference or by rib count and pitch length.
