This is a Gates Polyflex narrow V-belt, part number 5M 1280, with a 1280 mm length. The profile and length are the two things that confirm you are specifying the same belt that came off the drive.
The 5M profile is a narrow V-belt cross-section, which is why Polyflex belts are used where a compact, high-speed drive calls for a slim belt rather than a classical V-belt. The 1280 mm length is the datum you match against the old belt or the drive drawing, so the replacement sits correctly in the grooves and at the right center distance.
To order, send the part number 5M 1280, or send the marking from the back of the old belt along with the length. If the belt is worn or the marking is unreadable, measure the outside length and note the profile so we can confirm the match.
We supply Gates Polyflex belts to maintenance, engineering and purchasing teams across the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America. Send your part number by WhatsApp or email and the team will confirm the belt or suggest an equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- What do the profile and length tell me about this belt?
- The 5M profile identifies the narrow V-belt cross-section, and 1280 mm is the length. Together they define the belt's fit on the drive, so both need to match what you are replacing.
- How do I confirm this is the right belt for my drive?
- Check the marking on the back of the old belt for the part number and length. If it reads 5M 1280, this is the belt. If it is worn, measure the length and note the profile before ordering.
- What should I send to get a quote?
- Send the part number 5M 1280, or the full marking from the old belt, by WhatsApp or email. If you have the drive details or a photo of the belt, include those so we can confirm the match.
