Gates 6 x 98 RE Round Belt
This Gates round belt is a continuous loop of gum rubber with a reinforced solid core. It measures 98 inches in outside length and is designed for commercial sewing machines and conveyor drives. The black belt has a rough surface texture and an 80A hardness rating.
Suited for light industrial drives
The belt fits power turn and line shaft conveyors, serpentine drives and twisted drives that accept a 3/8 inch diameter round belt. It operates up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit and requires a minimum pulley diameter of 3 inches. Buyers needing flat belts, V belts or synchronous toothed belts should look elsewhere.
