Gates BX116 Tri-Power V-Belt BX Section 21/32" x 119" Notched Industrial Belt

The Gates BX116 Tri-Power Belt is a heavy-duty industrial V-belt designed for superior performance on classical cross-section power transmission drives. This BX section belt measures 21/32" (approximately 11/16") wide by 13/32" high with a 119" outside circumference, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable power transfer in demanding environments.

Advanced Construction Features:

• Raw edge EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) construction resists weathering, oils, water, and solvents
• Molded notches on the underside provide exceptional flexibility for small diameter sheaves and back-side idler drives
• Flex-bonded cords strongly forged to the belt body ensure equal load distribution and absorb bending stress without cord deterioration
• Machined belt edge for even sheave groove contact, reducing slip and wear
• Cross-oriented fiber loaded rubber compound provides optimal flexibility and stability
• 15% capacity increase over traditional wrapped belts

Temperature and Standards:

• Working temperature range: -60°F to +250°F (-51°C to +121°C)
• Meets ARPM/RMA IP-3-2 oil and heat resistance standards
• Meets IP-3-3 static conductivity requirements
• Part of Gates V80 matching system for precise multi-belt drive applications

The Gates BX116 Tri-Power Belt is suitable for all industrial applications, particularly where small or sub-minimal sheave diameters are required. Ideal for compressors, pumps, and heavy-duty equipment where reliability and reduced maintenance are essential.
