Banded 5VK Aramid Wedge Industrial V-Belts – High-Torque Power and Superior Durability for Demanding Applications
Banded 5VK Aramid Wedge Industrial V-Belts are engineered to deliver exceptional strength, torque capacity, and long-lasting reliability in the harshest industrial environments. Designed with aramid (Kevlar®) tensile cords, these belts provide outstanding resistance to stretch, superior tensile strength, and consistent performance under heavy, pulsating, or high-speed loads. Their rugged construction makes them ideal for applications where standard polyester-cord belts fall short.
Premium Aramid Construction for Maximum Strength
Each 5VK belt rib features a 5/8-inch top width and 0.61-inch height, forming a narrow wedge profile that transmits more horsepower in a smaller footprint compared to classical V-belts. Aramid cords significantly enhance belt stability by minimizing elongation, improving torque transfer, and resisting shock loads—critical for severe-duty power transmission systems.
The banded configuration joins multiple 5VK belts into a single, reinforced unit using a fiber-backed fabric band. This prevents belt whip, eliminates twisting or rollover, and ensures uniform tension distribution across all ribs. As a result, the belt assembly operates smoothly even in high-vibration or long-center-distance applications.
