Gates 3VX475 Super HC Molded Notch V-Belt 3/8" x 47.5"

The Gates 3VX475 Super HC Molded Notch V-Belt is engineered for high-horsepower power transmission in space-constrained industrial applications. This proprietary construction provides a superior combination of flex and load-carrying capacity, transmitting up to three times the horsepower versus comparably sized belts. The 3VX section belt measures 3/8 inch top width with a 47.5 inch outside length and 21/64 inch thickness.

Key Features:

• Made of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber for resistance to weathering, oils, water, and some solvents
• Notches molded into the underside create the flexibility needed to fit smaller diameter sheaves while maintaining strength and traction
• Flex-bonded polyester cords are strongly bonded to the belt body for equal load distribution and absorption of bending stress without cord deterioration
• Operating temperature range of -70 to 250°F with minimum pulley diameter of 3.82 inches
• Meets Gates UNISET tolerances and can be installed without matching in multi-belt systems
• Static conductive per ISO 1813, ATEX compliant, and meets REACH and RoHS 2 standards

Performance Benefits:

• More compact design compared to classical section V-belts with cost and space savings by reducing the size of pulleys, bearings, guards, and mounts
• Promotes smoother, quieter operation with less slippage and belt wear for improved belt life
• Precision-machined edge for even sheave groove contact, resulting in less slip and wear
• Ideal for drives requiring high speeds, high-speed ratios, or small pulley diameters

This belt is recommended for all industrial heavy-duty narrow section V-belt drives where space, weight, and horsepower capacity are critical factors. Perfect for manufacturing, agricultural equipment, conveyors, and general industrial power transmission applications.
