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
