This page covers the Gates Tri-Power BX 81, a cogged classical V-belt in the BX profile with a length of 2134 mm. Before you fit it, inspect the drive and sheaves so the new belt runs true.
Check sheave grooves for wear, rust, burrs or embedded debris, and confirm the grooves match the BX profile. Misaligned or worn sheaves can shorten belt life and cause vibration even when the belt itself is correct. Verify that the sheave diameters and the center distance suit the 2134 mm belt length.
Look over the drive for oil, heat, loose mounting or failed bearings, and correct any of these before installation. If the drive uses multiple belts, replace them as a set so the load stays evenly shared. Keep the old belt for comparison and read the marking on its back to confirm the part number.
We carry the Gates Tri-Power BX 81. The same size is also listed under Stark BX 81, Optibelt BX 81 and Dayco BX 81. Send the part number by WhatsApp or email and our team will confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.
For a quote, include the belt marking, the quantity and the drive details you have. Photos of the sheaves and the old belt help us confirm the BX profile and the 2134 mm length before we reply.
