Gates Quad-Power® III Construction Features

• The basic belt is formed from a brand new rubber compound that withstands chemically aggressive environments (acid & base), UV, ageing, ozone & heat. Even when severe slippage occurs, the belt doesn’t catch fire from extreme heat build up.
• Embodied in the compound are high-performance fibres providing improved resistance to abrasion & wear.
• The undercord section provides outstanding support to the cords. This is achieved by the fibres having transverse orientation. This in turn reinforces the belt’s already high levels of longitudinal flexibility & transverse rigidity.
• The unique notch profile has optimised geometry which ensures perfect v belt stability.
• The sidewalls are precision ground and give a wedging action that is completely uniform.
• The tensile section comprises high strength, low elongation polyester tensile cords. These are embedded in a newly developed adhesion layer – coloured blue. This develops a very high bonding level between the tensile cords and the undercord materials.
• The extreme flexibility of this v belt gives the belt tremedous reversed bending properties. This is ideal when backside idlers are used.
