Description
Gates TRI-POWER BX 56 Belt
Belt Type: Multiple V-Belt / Poly V-Belt
Model: TRI-POWER – Multi-ribbed belt
Construction:
-
Features multiple parallel ribs, increasing the contact area and enabling higher power transmission in limited space
-
Made from high-quality rubber reinforced with fiber cords
-
High flexibility helps reduce friction and operating noise
Key Features:
-
Good resistance to heat and oil
-
High resistance to abrasion and tensile forces
-
Capable of efficient power transmission at high rotational speeds
-
Reduces slippage and saves energy compared with conventional V-belts
Pulley Groove Inspection:
-
Requires a compatible multi-ribbed pulley designed for TRI-POWER belts
-
Pulley grooves must be clean and free from dirt or rust
Tensioning:
-
Use a suitable tension measuring tool for Poly V-belts
-
Belt tension should be properly set—not too tight or too loose—to prevent slippage or belt damage
Pulley Alignment:
-
Pulleys should be properly aligned to extend belt life and improve transmission efficiency
Post-Installation Check:
-
After the initial period of operation, check and readjust belt tension as necessary
Typical Applications
-
Used in machinery requiring multi-ribbed power transmission, such as fitness equipment, washing machines, and food processing machinery
-
Power transmission systems that require smooth operation, low noise, and high efficiency
-
Suitable for applications requiring high torque and high speed in limited installation space
