Banded Industrial V Belt
Banded Industrial V-Belts
High-Stability Power Transmission for Heavy-Duty Industrial Drives
Banded Industrial V-Belts provide superior strength, stability, and durability for demanding power transmission systems. Designed to overcome common issues such as vibration, slippage, and belt whip, these belts feature multiple V-belts permanently joined by a reinforced band, allowing them to function as a single, synchronized drive unit. This banded construction maintains precise belt spacing, improves alignment, and ensures dependable performance in high-load, high-shock applications.

Key Benefits of Banded V-Belts
Why Choose a Unified Belt Set?
-
Reduced vibration and shock loading for smoother operation
-
Synchronized rib performance for even load distribution
-
Enhanced belt tracking—prevents twisting, rollover, or whip
-
Higher horsepower capacity than standalone belts
-
Improved reliability in long-span or high-inertia drives
-
Extended belt life thanks to consistent alignment and tension
Applications of Banded Industrial V-Belts
Engineered for the Toughest Jobs
Banded V-belts excel in environments where single belts may fail prematurely due to misalignment, pulsating loads, or extreme torque. Common applications include:
-
Agriculture: harvesters, tractors, hay balers
-
Construction: compactors, excavators, crushers
-
Industrial Manufacturing: conveyors, compressors, presses
-
Mining & Aggregate: rock crushers, high-capacity fans
-
Lumber & Sawmills: edgers, debarkers, log conveyors
-
HVAC: multi-blower systems, large industrial fans
-
Pumps & Mixers: slurry pumps, chemical mixers
