Whether you have a drive near an oven, around heating elements or just outside in the hot summer sun, the Gates Molded Notch V-belts have the capability of taking the heat. Our Molded Notch V-belts have a high temperature limit of 250 degrees Fahrenheit* and come in the most popular sizes and cross sections including: AX, BX, CX, 3VX, 5VX, 8VX. These belts are a drop-in replacement for the standard A, B, C, 3V, 5V, 8V belts in applications where the temperature exceeds 140 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit and the higher temperature rating is desired to improve drive performance and belt life. The notched nature of these belts allow them to bend around smaller sheaves as well, making them a great choice for drives that require smaller sheaves and tighter overall drive packages.
One thing to consider when contemplating the use of the Molded Notch construction is the fact that these belts will not slip and clutch as smoothly as the standard, wrapped belts will. If this is desired then it is important to look at the most important features of the drive and select the best belt for your application needs.

*BX over 210" will have a temperature rating of -30 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
