Description
The Gates 6/5VX1600 is a heavy-duty banded cogged V-belt engineered for demanding power transmission applications in HVAC, industrial, and commercial equipment. Featuring a 6-band configuration in the 5VX cogged section with a 160-inch outside circumference, this belt delivers exceptional load-sharing performance across wide, multi-groove sheave drives.
Product Overview
Banded V-belts tie multiple individual belt strands together with a top band, preventing belt rollover and whip on high-torque, high-speed drives. The cogged (notched) design increases flexibility, reduces bending stress, and improves airflow around the belt — resulting in lower operating temperatures and longer service life compared to classical wrapped belts.
Key Features
- 6-band banded configuration for superior load distribution across all strands
- 5VX cogged/notched section for enhanced flexibility and reduced heat buildup
- 160″ outside circumference for use on large-sheave, wide-center-distance drives
- Browning-series belt — Gates’ trusted brand for industrial power transmission
- High-strength tension cords resist stretching and maintain consistent belt tension
- Oil- and heat-resistant rubber compound for extended service life
- Cogged profile improves grip and reduces slippage under variable loads
- Designed to replace multiple individual V-belts on matched-set drives
Applications
- Commercial HVAC air handling units and blower assemblies
- Industrial fans, pumps, and compressors
- Heavy-duty multi-groove sheave drive systems
- Equipment requiring matched belt sets for balanced load sharing
