What belt is this?
« on: June 14, 2011, 09:32:33 PM »
I bought a belt drive for my mini-mill several years ago and this is the belt that it uses.  The belt is clearly marked "Gates 110".  However, the only belt that I can find in the Gates catalog is the TruFlex 0110 that is described as being 1/4" x 1/8" with a circumference of 11".  My belt is 11" circ., but is much narrower. Mine is less than 1/8" wide and about 3/32" thick.

Any idea of what this is and where to get a new one?

Hi,

Have a look at the gates Polyflex JB series, it could be a 3M section.

Looks like the Gates 5M series belt like the one that goes on my Emco C8 clone and the bit longer one that goes on the 9x20 lathes.  I get mine from here:

Contact them and I'll bet they can match it.

After checking the Gates product listing I think the belt is a Polyflex 3M280.  Specs are 1/8" x 3/32" x 11.2" length (which I take to mean circumference).

Hi Charlie,

It is actualy the effective length, witch is slightly less than the circumference.  Look on the Gates site for a document named "drivedesign_lightpower" it explains it all. (page 85)
