Gates Predator Powerband offers a solution for drives where single belts vibrate, turn over or jump off the pulleys. It consists of several V-belts joined together by a permanent, high strength tie band, thus being tougher than all the belts taken separately. Predator Powerband is especially designed for demanding applications and harsh environments, offering a high resistance to vibration.

Construction

• Narrow cross-sections (classical on request).
• Strong tie band joins the back of all belts.
• Flex bonded aramid tensile cords.
• Double layer bare back fabric cover.
• Fibre-loaded compound for improved belt stability.
• Gates Curves provide full contact with pulley grooves for uniform loading of cords, uniform wear, and increased belt life.
• Non-self-igniting – the belt will not catch fire from heat build-up, even with severe slippage.
• Static conductive – ISO 1813 (SPB & SPC Predator® Powerbands® only).

Advantages

• Better resistance to vibrations.
• High stability and smooth running on the toughest drives.
• Maintenance free.
• Up to 2.2 times more power than standard V-belts.
• Aramid tensile cords easily handle shock loads.
• Up to 35% reduced drive cost.
• Up to 67% reduced drive width.
• Up to 50% reduced drive weight.
• Double layer bare back cover protects against slippage and punctures.
• No increase in shaft load.
• Replace MTO 8V drives with standard SPC pulleys.
• Reduce overhung loads.
• No need for constant re-tensioning.
• Excellent problem solver.
• Back idlers can be used.
