3M236 POLYFLEX, Gates, Polyflex® Polyurethane V-Belt

Gates® Polyflex® Belts provide a versatile power transmission solution when space is at a premium. Their unique 60° angle polyurethane construction transmits greater loads at higher speeds in less space than conventional V-belts.

Polyflex® is suited for extremely small diameter pulleys and very compact drives with high rotational speeds. Ideal for use on machines and machine tools requiring high performance and smooth operation in limited space such as bench type milling machines, lathe drives, woodworking and metalworking machine spindle drives, computer peripheral equipment, small blowers, etc.

• High Modulus Polyurethane compound (HMPE) resists fatigue, wear, ozone, and most environmental conditions.
• Precision casting eliminates layers and overlaps to enable low vibration operation.
• Temperature Range: -54°C up to +85°C (-65°F up to +185°F).

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• The 60° angle results in better support of the tensile section, and provides a more even load distribution.
• Design freedom and space savings which are not possible with conventional rubber construction belts.
• Ribbed backing provides greater lateral stability and relieves bending stress.
• Polyurethane is extremely resistant to heat, chemicals and oil.
• Low maintenance cost as belt needs less re-tensioning.
• Improves adhesion to the tensile cords.
• Long belt life on compact drives.
