Gates 3/BX128 Banded V-Belt Set - 131 Inch Length

The Gates 3/BX128 is a three-band banded V-belt designed for heavy-duty power transmission applications requiring multiple belts. This banded belt set consists of three individual BX128 belts permanently joined together with a reinforced tie-band, ensuring even load distribution and preventing belts from turning over or coming off the drive.

Key Features:

• Three BX-section belts banded together for synchronized operation
• 131-inch effective length (BX128 designation)
• 21/32-inch top width per belt section
• Reinforced tie-band prevents belt rollover and maintains spacing
• Oil and heat resistant construction for demanding environments
• Ideal for applications with high shock loads or vibration
• Reduces installation time compared to multiple individual belts

Banded belts provide superior performance in applications where standard multiple belt drives experience uneven loading, belt whip, or premature wear. The Gates construction ensures all three belts operate as a single unit, extending service life and reducing maintenance requirements.
