Technical Information

Gates Micro-V® Multi-Ribbed Belts

This low-profile and flexible belt perfectly meets original equipment requirements. Thanks to the improved construction features, Gates Micro-V® multi-ribbed belt offers superb efficiency on todays high-speed drives with smaller diameter pulleys. The belt will adapt easily to back idlers, automatic tensioners and serpentine drives and can handle several accessories simultaneously.

  • Low-profile and longitudinal V-ribs ensure excellent flexibility, reduce internal heat build-up and increase belt stability.
  • Strong polyester cords improve load-carrying capacity and lessen tension decay.
  • Solid top layer protects the belt.
  • Fibre-reinforced rubber compound resists oil drops, wear and pilling.
