Gates 540L8 Micro-V Belts

Gates Micro-V belts ensure outstanding performance on any industrial multi-ribbed drive. They cover a multitude of industrial applications and are suitable for industrial drives in washing machines, textile machines, vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, machine tools, medical equipment and many more. Exclusive truncated (shortened) profile gives Gates Micro-V belts increased flexibility, reduced heat buildup and allows performance at higher speeds on smaller diameter sheaves. The full line of Micro-V belt products includes slabs in several widths as well as single belts in J, K, L and M sections in order to perfectly match customer requirements.

• Fiber reinforced ribs for excellent wear resistance.
• High modulus, low stretch tensile member for added strength and dependability.
• Smooth running for minimal vibration at high speeds.
• Well suited for applications such as appliances, outdoor power equipment, roller conveyors, machine tools, medical equipment and exercise equipment.
• Meets ARPM/RMA IP-3-2 oil and heat resistant standards.

ENGINEERED TO PERFORM BETTER

Through our exclusive manufacturing process, belt ribs are shortened, producing numerous benefits in applications operating on small diameter pulleys. This process ensures belt flexibility, inhibits heat build-up, and provides resistance to rib cracking, resulting in a stronger, safer, more reliable Micro-V belt.

Features and Benefits

• Static conductive (ISO 1813) and can as such be used in the conditions described in the Directive 2014/34/EU- ATEX (except PK profile).
• Belts will operate in standard pulleys provided the pulleys are manufactured to the DIN 7867 or ISO 9982 standard for the specific cross-section.
• Temperature Range: -30°C to +60°C (-22°F to +140°F) (PJ, PL, PM) -50°C to +120°C (-58°F to +250°F) (PK) (EPDM compound).
• Specially formulated fibre reinforced undercord that improves belt stability.
• All elastomeric rubber compound provides oil and heat resistance.
• Can be installed on grooved DriveR and flat DriveN pulley.
• Long life due to extra load-carrying capacity.
• Improved performance on back idlers.
• Extremely smooth and cool running.
• Very high power capacity per rib.
• Tolerant of pulley groove debris.

POWER TRANSMISSION MEETS MATERIAL SCIENCE

Our Gates Micro-V L-Section belts push the boundaries of material science. The fiber-filled compound adds strength for improved stability, while flex-bonded, polyester-based cords enable balanced load distribution and less stress from flexing.
