Gates 6 x 36 RE Round Belt
This Gates round belt is a reinforced solid-core drive component built for commercial sewing machines, conveyors and serpentine drive systems. The gum rubber construction delivers reliable power transmission in twisted-drive and line-shaft layouts. It is supplied new and ready for installation in compatible industrial equipment.
3/8 in diameter reinforced solid core
The single specification that determines fit is the 3/8 in diameter combined with a reinforced solid core and 80A hardness. These dimensions fix the belt-to-pulley engagement and load capacity, so the part suits only drives designed for this exact profile. Verify the pulley groove and centre distance before ordering.
Closed-loop length of 36 in
The belt ships as a continuous 36 in closed loop with no splice or join, so no field welding or lacing is required. Rough surface texture increases grip on pulleys, while the gum rubber operates from -30 to 140 degrees F without separate lubrication. The fixed length means the drive centres must match this circumference.

Questions about this item
What does the 36 in outside length mean once the belt is on the machine?
The closed-loop belt measures 36 in around its outer circumference, so it fits pulley centres spaced for that exact length without stretching.
What does the 3/8 in diameter cap in practice?
The 3/8 in cross-section requires a minimum pulley diameter of 3 in to avoid excessive bending stress on the reinforced gum-rubber core.
What does the belt physically need to mount correctly?
It needs pulleys at least 3 in in diameter, a 3/8 in groove or flat face, and enough centre distance to take up the 36 in closed loop without tensioners.
