Gates Automotive XL V-Belt

• The Automotive XL is a durable, heavy-duty replacement V-belt designed for the most demanding engine drives.
• Due to thermal forces in the vehicle engine, this variable notched belt tightens on the drive as it heats up to prevent slippage or belt loss, improve belt performance, and reduce noise.
• Fiber-loaded rubber stock adds flexibility along the length of the belt and provides greater lateral stability in the pulley.
• Form-ground to ensure precise top width and sidewall dimensional control for proper fit to the pulley.
• Thermally active tensile cords for maintenance-free performance when properly installed and tensioned.

Features/Advantages

• Fibre loaded rubber stock puts added flexibility along the belt's length, yet affords greater lateral stability.
• Variable notch pattern causes the belt to run cooler, quieter, and with less bending stress.
• Precision V-forming process assures exact size and angle control.
• High tenacity tensile cords and a special layer of reinforcement for long, maintenance-free performance when the belt is properly installed and tensioned.
• Meets or exceeds SAE 636 specifications.
• Meets or exceeds RMA standards for static conductivity.
