Description
The Gates BP60 Predator V-Belt is a high-performance, cogged (notched) V-belt engineered for demanding HVAC, commercial, and industrial power transmission applications. The Predator series from Gates is purpose-built to outperform standard classical V-belts, delivering longer service life, greater efficiency, and reduced heat buildup — making it an ideal choice for blower drives, fan systems, and other HVAC equipment.
Product Overview
The BP60 belongs to the Gates Predator line, a premium cogged V-belt series designed as a direct upgrade over conventional B-section belts. The unique notched construction reduces bending resistance, allowing the belt to run cooler and last longer on smaller-diameter sheaves — a common requirement in HVAC blower and fan drive assemblies.

- Gates Predator series — a trusted name in power transmission for HVAC professionals
Applications
- HVAC blower and fan drive assemblies
- Air handling units (AHUs)
- Commercial and industrial ventilation systems
- Rooftop units (RTUs)
- General power transmission drives requiring a B-section or BP-section belt
Why Choose the Gates Predator Series?
Gates Predator V-belts are engineered to run up to 25°F cooler than standard belts, reducing thermal degradation and extending service intervals. The cogged profile also improves flexibility on small-diameter sheaves, making them ideal for compact HVAC drive arrangements. When you need a belt that performs reliably in high-cycle, high-temperature environments, the Predator is the professional’s choice.
