Predator® Overview

Predator V-belts can handle 1.4-2.2 times more horsepower than the equivalent size standard V-belt. So you can design a more compact drive that weighs less, puts less strain on costlier components, and uses fewer belts. All of which saves you money.

Drive Savings Example

3 strand 5V drive
Rated HP/Strand: 66.8
Total weight: 153 lbs
Total list price: $2140.00
6 strand 5V drive
Rated HP/Strand: 32.9
Total weight: 265 lbs
Total list price: $3087.00

Predator Belt Drives in Action - Gates Predator belt drives have proved themselves in the toughest applications in agriculture, forestry, mining, construction and manufacturing.
Predator Belt Availability

1- Reduce friction and heat buildup under shock load with abrasion and puncture-resistant bareback (non-rubber) double-layer fabric cover.

2- Minimal need for re-tensioning due to stronger-than-steel aramid fiber or Kevlar®2 tensile cords that reduce belt stretch by 50% over standard V-belts.

3-Oil and heat resistant chloroprene compound body, rated for 180°F, out performs other rubbers in harsh operating conditions.

4- Extend drive life with the patented curved sidewall that allows belt to enter the sheave groove cleanly and smoothly, reducing sidewall wear on belt and sheave.

5- Multiple-layer tie band joins belts together into a Predator PowerBand® that provides lateral rigidity for reduced vibration and belt turn-over on multi-groove sheaves.
