The Gates CX series V-belt is a power transmission belt with a classical profile, made of rubber with textile reinforcement. It is used to transmit motion between pulleys in a wide variety of industrial machines. Its design allows stable operation in applications that require reliable friction drive. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry it in different sizes so you can replace the belt on your equipment.

The CX series designation is read with the letter C, which identifies the belt profile, and the X, which indicates that it is a classical-section belt with tensile reinforcement. The number that follows, as in CX51, CX60 or CX68, corresponds to the outside length of the belt in inches. Thus, a CX75 is 75 inches long outside. The examples CX78, CX81, CX83 and CX85 show the range of lengths available within this series.

These belts are used in power transmission equipment in industries such as food, metallurgy, textile and woodworking. They are also found in pumps, fans, compressors and machine tools. In Argentina, they are common in production line maintenance and in agricultural equipment. Their trapezoidal profile allows torque to be transmitted between pulleys efficiently, absorbing vibrations and small misalignments.

To select the correct belt, take into account the pulley profile and the outside length your equipment needs. It is important to check pulley alignment and proper tension to avoid premature wear. Lubrication does not apply to the belt, but keeping the environment free of oils and contaminants does. If the belt works in environments with extreme temperatures, ask about the available options.

Gates CX series V-belts may be found under equivalent designations from other brands, but the dimensions and profile must match to ensure correct operation. If you have another brand's part number or an unmarked belt, we can help you find the right equivalent. It is always advisable to replace the belt with one of similar characteristics to maintain equipment performance.
