For classic V-belt drives, the Gates CX series offers a rubber construction with textile reinforcement. These belts transfer motion between pulleys on many types of industrial equipment, providing dependable friction drive. We supply them in a range of lengths so you can match the belt to your machine.

Reading the code is straightforward: the C stands for the belt profile, while the X indicates a classical-section belt with tensile reinforcement. The number that follows gives the outside length in inches. So CX60 measures 60 inches outside, and the same logic applies to CX51, CX68, CX75, CX78, CX81, CX83 and CX85.

You will find these belts on pumps, fans, compressors and machine tools, as well as in food processing, metallurgy, textile and woodworking operations. Their trapezoidal shape transmits torque between pulleys while absorbing vibration and minor misalignment.

When choosing a belt, confirm the pulley profile and the outside length required. Check pulley alignment and tension to prevent early wear. Although the belt itself needs no lubrication, keep the area free of oil and contaminants. For extreme temperature conditions, ask about the options available.

Equivalent belts from other manufacturers may exist, but the profile and dimensions must match for proper operation. If you have a part number from another brand or an unmarked belt, we can help you identify a suitable equivalent. Replacing with a belt of similar characteristics helps maintain equipment performance.
