Description
GATES PL 1842 belongs to poly-V belt, part of our Power transmission range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for PL 1842 and any equivalents.
This is a Gates Micro-V Poly-V (multi-rib) belt with a PL profile and a length of 1842 mm. Poly-V belts are used in drives that need a thin, flexible belt to wrap small pulleys while carrying load across multiple ribs. Confirm fit by matching the profile and length to the belt you are replacing.
Poly-V belts, also called multi-rib or serpentine belts, are common on accessory drives and on compact drives where a single flat belt would slip or a V-belt would be too stiff. The PL profile and 1842 mm length identify the belt; the rib count and pulley groove profile must match the drive.
To confirm fit, read the marking on the back of the old belt and compare it to PL 1842. Check the pulley grooves for wear and the tensioner for travel. If the old belt is unreadable, measure the length along the belt path and count the ribs.
When you request a quote, send the part number PL 1842, the quantity, and a photo of the belt marking if possible. We carry Gates and can help confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.
