Banded 3V Wedge Industrial V-Belts – Reliable Power Transmission for Compact, High-Speed Drives
Banded 3V Wedge Industrial V-Belts are engineered for compact, high-speed power transmission systems that require exceptional stability, consistent torque delivery, and long service life. These belts combine the efficiency of narrow-profile 3V wedge belts with the enhanced alignment and vibration control of a banded construction, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications where reliability and smooth operation are critical.
Stable, High-Efficiency Performance in Tight Drive Systems
Each 3V-section belt features a 3/8-inch top width and 0.41-inch height, forming a narrow wedge profile that increases contact within the pulley groove. This design improves horsepower transmission per inch of width while allowing the use of smaller sheaves—perfect for compact drive layouts. By permanently joining multiple 3V belts into a unified, reinforced band, these belts maintain perfect alignment, eliminate belt whip, and distribute load evenly across all ribs. The result is reduced vibration, quieter operation, and superior belt stability at high speeds.
Constructed from durable neoprene or EPDM rubber and reinforced with high-strength polyester or aramid tensile cords, Banded 3V belts provide outstanding resistance to heat, oil, and wear. Their rugged build delivers exceptional performance in continuous-duty environments with fluctuating loads or high RPM requirements.
