Hi Payson,
If it is the proper belt, Gates is a good brand and there should
not be a problem.? If the old belt behaves differently but is the
same size, the problem may be the stiffness of the new belt.? It
has likely been folded in the same sleeve for quite a while and
has taken a set.? I would try warming it up, perhaps by setting it
in direct sunlight for a few hours and see if that softens it and
makes a difference.
HTH,
Jack

Hi folks,
My friend has a 9A horizontal with a VFD. He bought a new Gates V
belt but says it's shakes at fast speeds, when he's trying to get
a good finish, so put the old one back on. He rebuilt the counter
shaft already. Is there are difference between the name brand
products?
Thanks,
Payson.
