Gates BP56 Predator Heavy Duty V-Belt

The Gates BP56 Predator Single Belt is a market-leading heavy-duty V-belt engineered for the most demanding industrial applications. With a BP section profile measuring 5/8 inch wide by 59 inches in length, this belt delivers exceptional performance in harsh environments where standard V-belts fail.

Heavy-Duty Construction:

• Aramid tensile cord construction is pound-for-pound stronger than steel and handles up to 2.2 times more horsepower than standard V-belts
• Improved neoprene rubber compounds provide superb oil and heat resistance
• Non-rubber bareback surface allows momentary slippage under excessive overloads without damaging the belt
• Double fabric cover offers extreme abrasion and wear resistance
• Gates Curves provide full contact with pulley grooves for uniform cord loading and extended belt life

Performance Benefits:

• Minimal re-tensioning reduces maintenance needs and downtime
• Withstands slip and shear forces at peak loads without generating excessive heat
• Resists foreign material penetration for longer service life
• Meets ARPM/RMA IP-3-2 oil and heat resistant standards
• REACH and RoHS 2 compliant

Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications exposed to pulsating loads or shock loads, including mining, agriculture, wood processing, oil field equipment, construction, and sand/gravel operations. Available on demand in matched sets for multiple belt drives.
