The Gates Polyflex 3M 690 is a narrow V-belt from the Polyflex series, with a 690 mm length. Before fitting a new belt, inspect the drive and sheaves to confirm the replacement will run correctly.
Check sheave grooves for wear, rust, or debris that can damage a new belt. Confirm the sheaves are aligned and that the belt sits at the correct depth in the groove. Any misalignment or worn groove will shorten belt life, no matter how good the replacement is.
Verify the old belt marking matches the Gates Polyflex 3M 690. If the marking is unreadable, measure the length and confirm the profile before ordering. Send the part number and any photos of the drive to our team for a prompt quote.
When replacing a belt on a multi-belt drive, fit a complete set of matched belts. Mixing new and used belts on the same drive can cause uneven loading and premature failure. Confirm the drive is stopped and locked out before removing the old belt.

Frequently asked questions
- What should I check on the drive before fitting this belt?
- Inspect sheave grooves for wear, rust, or debris, and confirm the sheaves are aligned. A worn or misaligned groove will reduce belt life even if the new belt is correct.
- How do I confirm the Gates Polyflex 3M 690 is the right replacement?
- Compare the marking on the old belt with the part number. If it is unreadable, measure the length and confirm the profile. Send the part number to our team for a quote.
- Should I replace all belts on the drive at once?
- Yes. On a multi-belt drive, fit a complete set of matched belts. Mixing new and used belts can cause uneven loading and early failure.
