Banded 8V Wedge Industrial V-Belts – Maximum Power Transmission for Heavy-Duty Industrial Drives
Banded 8V Wedge Industrial V-Belts are engineered for the most extreme industrial power transmission demands, providing unparalleled torque capacity, alignment stability, and long-term durability. These belts are designed for high-horsepower systems operating under continuous stress, making them ideal for mining, aggregate processing, sawmills, large HVAC installations, and other severe-duty environments. Their rugged construction ensures dependable performance where failure is not an option.
Extreme Strength with Banded Stability
Each 8V belt rib features a 1-inch top width and 1.06-inch height, forming a deep wedge profile that delivers superior traction and power transfer. The wedge design significantly increases surface contact within the sheave, enhancing torque transmission while reducing slippage. By permanently bonding multiple 8V belts together with a heavy-duty, fabric-reinforced backing, the banded configuration ensures perfect alignment, eliminates belt whip, and vastly improves load-sharing across all ribs.
This unified structure provides exceptional stability, even in applications with long center distances, heavy shock loads, or multi-sheave systems. The result is smoother operation, reduced vibration, and extended belt life under punishing conditions.
