Gates AX81 is a Tri-Power Cogged V-Belt with AX section, 81" effective length, and 1/2" top width. Designed for industrial drives requiring higher horsepower capacity and reduced bending resistance. The cogged construction dissipates heat and reduces flex fatigue in demanding applications.

Built for superior performance on heavy-duty classical cross-section drives. The raw edge, Ethylene Elastomer construction and special notch design makes the Tri-Power belt especially suited for small diameter pulleys and back-side idler drives.

• Belt edge is machined for even sheave groove contact, resulting in smoother running, less slip and wear.
• Flex-bonded cords are strongly forged to the belt body, resulting in equal load distribution and absorption of bending stress without cord deterioration. 15% capacity increase over wrapped belts.
• Notches molded into the belt during manufacturing increase flexibility, making this belt well suited for drives with smaller diameter sheaves.
• Suitable for all industrial applications, particularly where small or sub-minimal sheave diameters are required.
• Meets ARPM/RMA IP-3-2 oil and heat resistant standards and IP-3-3 static conductivity requirements.REACH and RoHS 2 compliant.

PERFECT BELTS FOR IMPERFECT CONDITIONS.

Over time, belts fail from heat cracks, stretching or excessive wear. Belt retensioning and replacement leads to downtime, inefficiency and loss of productivity. Only Gates molded notch V-belts, including our Tri-Power molded notch belt line, offer a patented, new ethylene construction to keep your operations running when other belts fail.

Features and Benefits

• Flex-Bonded tensile cords are strongly forged to the body of the belt, resulting in equal load distribution with absorption of bending stress and separation without cord deterioration.
• Notches molded into the belt during manufacturing increase flexibility, making this belt well suited for drives with smaller diameter sheaves.
• Tri-Power belts are available in AX, BX, and CX sizes.

EQUIPPED FOR YOUR OPERATING ENVIRONMENT.

Featuring a composite, multi-purpose construction, Gates heavy-duty Tri-Power Belts resist oil, heat, contaminants, tensile and flexing forces, fatigue, and shock loads. We've even engineered our proprietary EPDM belt material to combat self-igniting, meaning your belt won't catch fire from heat build-up, even with severe slippage.
