Gates A42 is a Hi-Power II V-Belt with A section, 42" effective length, 1/2" top width, and 5/16" depth. Designed for industrial power transmission drives requiring reliable wrapped classical belt performance. Constructed with fiber-loaded EPDM compound for oil and heat resistance.

The wrapped classical section Hi-Power V-belt has a long reputation for reliability on agricultural and industrial applications. The arched top of the Hi-Power belt provides superior strength to prevent "dishing" and distortion of the tensile section. The cords are properly aligned, each of them carrying its full share of the load.

• Arched top, concave sidewalls and rounded corners provide uniform tensile loading and uniform pulley sidewall contact for excellent belt service life and reduced pulley wear.
• Vulcanized Flex-bonded tensile cords provide superior resistance to tensile and flexing forces, fatigue and shock loads.
• Flex-Weave oil and heat resistant cover protects the belt core from the toughest environments.
• All sizes meet Gates V80 system matching tolerances.
• Meets ARPM/RMA IP-3-2 oil and heat resistant standards and IP-3-3 static conductivity requirements.REACH and RoHS 2 compliant.

EQUIPPED FOR YOUR OPERATING ENVIRONMENT.

Featuring a composite, multi-purpose construction, Gates Hi-Power II Belts resist oil, heat, ozone, sunlight, weather, and aging. We've even engineered the EPDM belt material to combat self-igniting, meaning your belt won't catch fire from heat build-up, even with severe slippage.

Features and Benefits

• Flex-Bonded Cords are strongly bound to the body of the belt, resulting in equal load distribution and absorption of bending stress without cord deterioration.
• Gates Curves provide proper cord support and full contact with the sheave-groove for uniform loading, uniform wear, and increased belt life.
• The Flex-Weave Cover is constructed for longer cover life, providing extended protection to the core of the belt from oil, dirt, and heat.
• Static conductive (ISO 1813) and can as such be used in the conditions described in the Directive 2014/34/EU- ATEX.
• Belt Edge is machined for even sheave groove contact, resulting in smoother running and less slip and wear.
• Match system: All sizes meet Gates UNISET tolerances, they can be installed without matching.
• Meets RMA oil and heat resistant standards and static conductivity requirements.
• High-quality rubber compound protects the belt against heat, ozone and sunlight.
• The belt will not catch fire from heat buildup, even with severe slippage.
• Long belt life reducing replacement and maintenance costs.
• Temperature Range: -30°C to +60°C (-22°F to +140°F).
• Excellent performance/cost ratio.
• REACH and RoHS 2 compliant.
• Reliability and efficiency.

LESS STRESS. MORE POWER.

Gates Flex-Weave oil and heat resistant cover is designed with built-in static connectivity to protect your belt core from the toughest operating environments. The proprietary, woven Flex-Weave fabric increases the angle facing the direction of pull, developing even less stress for a given amount of bending.
