Banded 3VX Cogged Wedge Industrial V-Belts – High-Efficiency Power Transmission for Demanding Applications
Banded 3VX Cogged Wedge Industrial V-Belts are engineered to deliver superior efficiency, stability, and durability in compact, high-speed drive systems. Built for demanding industrial environments, these belts combine the high-power density of the 3VX wedge profile with the improved flexibility of cogged construction and the alignment stability of a unified banded design. The result is a high-performance belt system capable of handling continuous-duty operation with reduced vibration and improved energy efficiency.
Cogged Flexibility Meets Banded Strength
Each 3VX cogged belt rib features a 3/8-inch (0.38") top width and 5/16-inch (0.31") height, offering excellent fitment within narrow wedge sheaves. Precision-molded cogs on the inner surface reduce bending resistance, allowing the belt to flex easily around small pulleys while improving heat dissipation. This design enhances efficiency, minimizes internal stress, and significantly extends belt life.
The banded construction permanently joins multiple 3VX belts with a reinforced backing, ensuring that all ribs operate in perfect alignment. This eliminates belt whip, reduces side-tracking, and prevents rollover—issues commonly encountered in high-speed or shock-loaded applications.
