The Gates Polyflex 3M 560 is a narrow V-belt in the Polyflex series with a 560 mm length. It is the belt to reference when you are replacing a worn Polyflex belt on a compact, high-speed drive.
To match it to the belt being replaced, read the marking on the back of the old belt. The part number 3M 560 and the Polyflex series name identify the profile and the 560 mm length. If the old belt is worn or the marking is gone, measure the outside length and compare it to the 560 mm figure before ordering.
The 3M profile is a narrow cross-section, so check that the drive pulleys are cut for a narrow V-belt and not a standard profile. Confirm the belt sits correctly in the groove and that the pulleys are aligned and free of damage. A belt that is too wide or too narrow will not seat properly and will wear quickly.
When you request a quote, send the part number 3M 560 and the brand Gates. If you are replacing several belts on the same drive, list each position so we can help you confirm the correct belt for every location.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I confirm the Gates 3M 560 is the right belt?
- Check the marking on the back of the belt you are replacing. It should show the Polyflex series and 3M 560. If it is unreadable, measure the belt length and compare it to 560 mm.
- What should I send to get a quote for this belt?
- Send the part number 3M 560 and the brand Gates by WhatsApp or email. If you have a photo of the old belt marking, include it so we can help confirm the match.
- Can I use a standard V-belt instead of this narrow V-belt?
- No. The 3M profile is a narrow cross-section and must match the pulley groove. A standard V-belt will not seat correctly and can slip or wear out quickly.
