Gates 6/5VX1600 Banded V-Belt Length V-Belts - 6-Band 160

The Gates 6/5VX1600 is a heavy-duty banded V-belt designed for high-performance power transmission applications requiring multiple belts to operate in unison. This 6-band configuration features six individual 5VX section V-belts permanently joined together with a tie-band, ensuring even load distribution and preventing belt rollover or individual belt turnover during operation.

Key Features:

• 6-band construction with 160-inch effective length
• 5VX belt section profile for optimal power transmission
• Tie-band construction keeps belts aligned and running together
• Prevents individual belt whip and improves system stability
• Oil and heat resistant construction for extended service life
• Ideal for heavy-duty industrial and agricultural equipment applications

Banded belts are essential when multiple V-belts are required to transmit high horsepower loads. The permanent tie-band eliminates the need to match individual belts and ensures all bands share the load equally, reducing maintenance and extending belt life. This belt is compatible with standard 5V sheave grooves and provides reliable performance in demanding multi-belt drive systems.
