Banded 5VX Cogged Wedge Industrial V-Belts – Engineered for High-Torque, High-Speed Industrial Power Transmission
Banded 5VX Cogged Wedge Industrial V-Belts are engineered for industrial applications that demand exceptional torque capacity, stable performance, and superior efficiency. These belts combine the high-power density of the 5VX wedge profile with the enhanced flexibility of cogged construction and the alignment stability of a reinforced banded design. The result is a high-performance drive solution capable of withstanding shock loads, high speeds, and continuous-duty operation with minimal vibration.
Advanced Cogged Design with Banded Stability
Each 5VX belt rib features a 5/8-inch (0.62") top width and 0.61-inch height, optimized for high-horsepower transmission and reduced slippage. The precision-molded cogged profile increases airflow, reduces heat buildup, and improves flexibility—allowing the belt to operate efficiently on smaller pulley diameters and at higher RPMs. This design significantly reduces internal stress and extends belt life, particularly in demanding environments.
The banded configuration unites multiple 5VX ribs into a single, reinforced unit using a tough, fiber-backed fabric band. This ensures synchronized power transfer across all ribs, eliminates belt whip or twisting, and provides excellent load-sharing—critical for long center distances and multi-sheave industrial drive systems.
