Description

Predator Heavy Duty, Wrapped, Aramid Cord V Belt

Gates Predator V-belts are the markets leading V-belts.
They are unique and unrivalled in their extreme robustness and high load carrying capability.
They are excellent problem solvers that perform well in harsh environments and in extremely demanding applications where standard V-belts have performance issues.
The Predator difference is in the construction: having the highest offer density of any V-belt and half the stretch of standard Gates belts because of the use of high strength, high modulus aramid tensile cords.

About Predator Matching System

Predator belts have a matching system which must be used on multiple belt drives.
This applies to both Single and Powerband versions of Predator belts.
Predator belts are marked with a match/group number between 46 to 54 and each belt on a drive must have the same match/ group number.
Each matching number refers to a length tolerance range.
The limited stretch characteristic of the Predator belts makes it necessary to match them in this way.
If matched belts are not used then it will severely impact performance and life.

Construction

Classical and Narrow cross-sections.
Flex bonded aramid tensile cords.
Double layer bare back fabric cover.
Fibre-loaded compound for improved belt stability.
Gates Curves provide full contact with pulley grooves for uniform loading of cords, uniform wear and increased belt life.
Non self-igniting - the belt will not catch fire from heat build-up, even with severe slippage.
