Gates 38568 GS Drivealign HD Belt

The Gates DriveAlign Drive Belt delivers high-power, high-efficiency transmission for demanding industrial drives. The cogged underside reduces operating temperature on smaller sheave diameters, extending belt life and improving drive efficiency compared to equivalent wrapped V-belts of the same section.

Where this product is used

Gates Drive Belts are engineered for high-power industrial, agricultural and heavy-duty applications. Typical end uses include:

• High-power industrial drives on mills, crushers, mining conveyors and heavy-duty process equipment
• Agricultural and construction machinery subject to shock loads, vibration and variable torque demands
• Quarrying and material-handling systems where superior power ratings and extended belt life are critical

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Select by section designation: XPZ (10 mm top, lightest duty), XPA, XPB, XPC (widest, highest power). QuadPower 4 XP belts are direct replacements for standard narrow V-belts of the same section and length — the cogged underside allows operation on smaller sheave diameters than wrapped equivalents. Confirm the published minimum sheave diameter for your section before fitting. For Tri-Power AX/BX/CX cogged classical belts, cross-reference the A/B/C pitch length. Contact AIMS if you need a power-rating check for your specific drive.
