Out of stock
This is the Gates Micro-V Belt - L Section.
Gates Micro-V belts are multi-ribbed (serpentine-profile) industrial belts — a single belt with several parallel small ribs running in a matching grooved pulley, replacing multiple narrow V-belts on one drive. The L section suits industrial multi-ribbed drives across machine tools, conveyors, appliances, outdoor power equipment and medical/exercise equipment.
Where this product is used
Gates V-belts cover the full range of industrial, agricultural and automotive drive applications. Common end uses include:
- Appliances and domestic/commercial white goods — washing machines and other multi-ribbed drives
- Outdoor power equipment, roller conveyors and machine tools
- Medical equipment and exercise/fitness equipment
- General industrial multi-ribbed drives — textile machinery, vacuum systems and workshop equipment
Key specifications
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Belt Section | L |
| Series | Micro-V — Gates’ multi-ribbed (serpentine-profile) industrial belt, L section |
| Belt Identification | Belt code = effective length in tenths of an inch, followed by section letter and rib count — e.g. 780L16 = 78.0 in effective length, L section, 16 ribs. |
| Construction | Fiber reinforced ribs for wear resistance; high modulus, low-stretch tensile member for strength and dependability; smooth running for minimal vibration at high speed. Meets ARPM/RMA IP-3-2 oil and heat resistant standards. |
| Nominal Rib Dimensions (Width x Height) | 1/4 x 3/16 in (6.35 x 4.76 mm) |
| Standard Rib Configurations | 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20 (standard configurations; maximum rib count is size-dependent) |
| Effective Length Range | 50.0 to 146.0 in effective length |
| Application Category | Industrial |
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 instead? 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
Gates Micro-V multi-ribbed belts ensure outstanding performance on any industrial multi-ribbed drive
They cover a multitude of industrial applications and fire suitable also for industrial drives in washing machines, vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, machine tools, medical equipment and many more
The full line of Micro-V belt products include sleeves in several widths as well as single belts in PJ, PL and PM sections in order to perfectly match customer requirements
Construction
Truncated ribs (tips removed) ensure flexibilty,reduce heat build-up and improve rib crack resistance. They also enhance load-carrying capacity on small diameter pulleys
Fire-loaded compound for improved belt stability
Flex-Bonded polyester cords for equal load distribution and reduced stress from flexing
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
Extremely smooth and cool running
Very high power capacity per rib
Long life due to extra load-carrying capacity
Improved performance on back idlers
Smaller drive package
Tolerant of pulley groove debris
Back idlers can be used.
Temperature Range
Range: -35°C to +80°C
