Gates Micro-V^® Scion xB Power Steering Belts outperform other V-ribbed belts because they are truncated(shorter). This shorter profile gives the new Micro-V^® Belts increased flexibility, reduced heat buildup and allows them to operate at extra high speeds on smaller diameter sheaves.

Specially designed to replace original equipment xB power steering belts on extra heavy applications such as machine tools, compressors, pumping equipment and other industrial equipment requiring V-ribbed belts.

Two more advantages of the truncated are:

The xB power steering belt does not bottom in the sheave

The xB power steering belt can better tolerate debris in the sheave groove. They are extremely smooth running and highly resistant to oil, heat and other adverse conditions.

Gates Micro-V^® xB power steering belt features an exclusive truncated rib profile that makes it more flexible than a conventional xB power steering V-ribbed belt, especially on xB extra-high speed, small-diameter sheave drives.

Also, the xB power steering belt shortened rib profile keeps the multi-ribbed xB power steering belt from bottoming out in sheaves, helps it tolerate debris in sheave grooves, and reduces heat build-up.

The xB power steering belt is ideally suited for most multi-shaft, serpentine, backside idler and V-flat drives. Usages range from pumps to precision-center lathes to high-speed machine tools.

Gates Micro-V^® xB power steering belt is available in three cross-sections: J, L and M. All three have a smooth-running construction, strong, low-stretch polyester tensile reinforcement, and static-dissipating undercords. The Scion xB power steering belts are available in standard rib configurations and sizes, with lengths from 18 inches to 361 inches depending on the cross-section. Special sizes and constructions are available on request.

The xB Crew also has the corrected power steering belt size for owners using the Unorthodox Racing Ultra S crank pulley, see options menu.
