This is a Gates 3VX 280 PowerBand belt from the Quad-Power 4 PowerBand series, a banded V-belt with a 710 mm length. Banded construction ties multiple V-belts together so they run as one unit on multi-groove drives. It is used where matched sets are required and single belts would tend to whip, flip or run unevenly.

Confirm fit by reading the marking on the back of the old belt. The part number should match 3VX 280 PowerBand, and the length should read 710 mm. Check that the belt cross-section and the number of ribs in the band match the drive sheaves before ordering.

Banded V-belts are common on drives with several grooves that must share the load evenly, such as fans, blowers, compressors and process equipment. Because the ribs are joined by a top band, the belt stays in alignment across all sheaves and resists the vibration that can affect individual belts on high-ratio or pulsating drives.

When replacing a banded belt, inspect the sheave grooves for wear, rust or debris and check pulley alignment. A worn groove can let a new belt sit too low and slip. If you are unsure of the correct replacement, send the full marking from the old belt and the drive details to our team for confirmation.
