The Gates C 85 PowerBand is a banded V-belt from the Hi-Power PowerBand series, with a length of 2159 mm. Banded construction ties multiple V-belts together so they run as one unit, which suits drives where single belts tend to whip, flip or roll over. This belt is used on heavy-duty industrial drives that need stable, synchronized power transmission across several grooves.
You will typically find banded V-belts on drives where load is shared across two or more grooves and where vibration or pulsation is present. Confirm fit by checking the belt marking on the old belt: it should read C 85 PowerBand, and the measured length should match 2159 mm. Also verify the cross section is C and the number of ribs matches the drive pulley grooves.
When replacing a banded belt, inspect the sheaves for wear, alignment and debris before installing the new belt. Replace the full banded set rather than mixing old and new belts, since uneven tension across the band can cause premature failure. If you are unsure of the correct replacement, send the complete marking and the drive details for confirmation.
