Gates 5K385AP 5-Rib K-Section Banded Micro-V Drive Belt

The Gates 5K385AP is a high-performance banded Micro-V drive belt designed for industrial power transmission applications requiring multiple ribbed belts working in unison. This belt features a K-section profile with 5 ribs and an effective length of 38.5 inches, making it ideal for drives where individual belts may vibrate, turn over, or jump off pulleys under heavy loads.

Key Features:

• 5-rib K-section banded configuration provides superior stability and prevents belt turnover
• 38.5-inch effective length for precise fitment
• Permanent high-strength tie band joins multiple ribs together for unified operation
• High modulus polyester tensile cords deliver exceptional resistance to fatigue and shock loads
• EPDM rubber compound provides excellent oil and heat resistance
• Static conductive construction meets ISO 1813 standards
• Temperature range: -30°C to +60°C (-22°F to +140°F)
• Meets ARPM/RMA standards for oil and heat resistance

Gates banded Micro-V belts are engineered for applications subjected to pulsating loads, vibration, or heavy shock conditions where single belts would fail. The PowerBand design ensures all ribs work together as a single unit, delivering more power and longer service life than individual belts operating separately. Ideal for industrial machinery, HVAC systems, agricultural equipment, and other demanding multi-rib drive applications.
