Banded D Series Classical Industrial V-Belts – Maximum Strength for Extreme Industrial Power Transmission
Banded D Series Classical Industrial V-Belts are built for the most demanding power transmission systems, delivering unmatched strength, stability, and long service life in extreme industrial environments. By permanently joining two or more D-section belts with a rugged, fabric-reinforced backing, these belts function as a single, unified drive element. The banded construction eliminates belt whip, prevents rollover, and ensures precise alignment—critical for long-span shafts and high-torque, heavy-horsepower machinery.
Engineered for Extreme Load and Stability
Each D-section belt features a 1-1/4-inch (1.25") top width and 0.98-inch height, ensuring a deep, secure fit within standard D-groove sheaves. This large cross-sectional area provides superior traction and power transmission capacity. The unified band distributes load evenly across all ribs, enhancing belt performance and reducing wear in drives exposed to shock loads, vibration, or pulsating torque.
Manufactured from high-performance rubber compounds that resist heat, oil, and abrasive wear, these belts are reinforced with high-strength polyester or aramid (Kevlar®) tensile cords. This construction provides exceptional tensile stability, minimal stretch, and reliable operation in continuous heavy-duty service. With an operating temperature range of -30°F to +140°F, Banded D Series belts perform consistently in harsh indoor and outdoor conditions.
