Detailed Product Description

The Gates 5VX670 is part of the Narrow Section Molded Notch V-Belt product line, which focuses on delivering belts with molded notches to improve flexibility and reduce heat buildup during operation. This belt features a 5VX cross section, a standard narrow section size that fits many accessory drive systems requiring precise dimensions. The belt’s ethylene elastomer (EE) material offers resistance to wear and environmental factors, while the polyester cord provides tensile strength to maintain belt integrity under load. The notched design allows the belt to bend more easily around pulleys, reducing stress and extending service life.
