Gates 5VX540 (9414-0540) Super HC Narrow
Available
The Gates Super HC Molded Notch belt 5VX section is a raw edge, moulded-notch (cogged) narrow V-belt for industrial drives requiring high power in a compact cross-section. It is cross-referenced by Gates to the equivalent ISO-coded Quad-Power 4 belt of the same dimensions.
Where this product is used
Gates V-belts cover the full range of industrial, agricultural and automotive drive applications. Common end uses include:
- Industrial drive systems — air compressors, pumps, fans, blowers and generators across manufacturing and utilities
- Agricultural machinery including combine harvesters, grain augers, irrigation pumps and crop-processing equipment
- HVAC and refrigeration plant — chillers, cooling towers, air handlers and refrigeration compressors
Key specifications
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Belt Section | 5VX |
| Series | Super HC Molded Notch — Gates’ RMA-coded (3VX/5VX/8VX) raw-edge, moulded-notch narrow V-belt; the same construction as the ISO-coded Quad-Power 4 (XPZ/XPA/XPB/XPC) range |
| Construction | Raw edge, moulded-notch (cogged) construction. Gates’ current stock system lists this as Super HC Molded Notch (RMA-coded 3VX/5VX/8VX) — the same notched, raw-edge belt as the ISO-coded Quad-Power 4 (XPZ/XPA/XPB/XPC) range; Gates cross-references the two codes against the same physical belt. Exclusive EPDM compound; precision-ground sidewalls for uniform wedging action; Flex-Bonded polyester tensile cords; double Flex-Weave textile backing; non-self-igniting; static conductive (ISO 1813 & RMA IP3-3). |
| Nominal Dimensions (Width x Height) | 17 x 13 mm |
| Temperature Range | -57°C to +121°C |
| Belt Matching | Meets Gates UNISET tolerances — any belt of the same section and length matches any other; no belt-matching required. |
Selecting 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. Looking for an automotive serpentine belt? 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.

Descriptions
Quad-Power® 4 has been developed to replace traditional V-belts on applications where space, weight savings and temperature resistance are required.
Extensive testing has shown that Gates Quad-Power® 4 V-belts offer up to 50% higher offer ratings than the wrapped Super HC®. The new upgraded EPDM compound allows the belt to handle extreme temperatures up to +130°C.
Construction
Notch depth is in proportion to the cross-section to ensure perfect stability
Precision-ground sidewalls reduce centre distance variations, vibration and uniform wedging action
Flex-Bonded polyester cords for equal load distribution and reduced stress from flexing
Fibre-loaded EPDM compound withstands high heat, ozone, sunlight and provides better cord support
Enhanced blue adhesion layer increases tensile cord bond
Double Flex-Weave® textile backing protects the belt against wear – especially when back idlers are used
Non self-igniting - the belt will not catch fire from heat build-up, even with severe slippage
Static conductive - ISO 1813 and RMA IP3-3
Advantages
No re-tensioning required
Reduce wrapped belt drive width up to 50%
Increase efficiency up to 3% offer wrapped belts
Use smaller diameter pulleys than wrapped belts
Moulded notches reduce and evenly distribute thermal and bending stresses
Reduce drive maintenance
Match free system: all sizes meet Gates UNISET & V80® tolerances, can be installed without matching
Back idlers can be used
Temperature Range
Range: -50°C to +130°C
