Banded 3VK Aramid Wedge Industrial V-Belts – Premium Performance for Compact High-Speed Drives
Banded 3VK Aramid Wedge Industrial V-Belts are engineered for compact, high-speed power transmission systems that require exceptional strength, stability, and long service life. Designed with aramid (Kevlar®) tensile cords, these belts deliver superior resistance to stretching, outstanding tensile strength, and reliable performance under high load and high RPM conditions. Their premium construction makes them ideal for severe-duty applications where traditional polyester-cord belts may fall short.
High-Strength Aramid Construction for Extreme Durability
Each 3VK belt rib features a 3/8-inch top width and 0.41-inch height, fitting seamlessly into narrow wedge pulley systems that prioritize space efficiency and high torque transmission. Aramid fiber cords dramatically improve tensile capacity, minimize elongation, and enhance the belt’s ability to handle shock loads and pulsating drives. The result is a belt system that maintains consistent tension and long-term reliability in demanding environments.
The banded configuration permanently binds two or more 3VK belts into a unified, reinforced structure. This eliminates belt whip, prevents twisting or rollover, and ensures uniform load distribution across all ribs—critical for drives with long center distances, fluctuating loads, or high-speed operation.
