3V Wedge Industrial V-Belts – Compact, Efficient Power Transmission for High-Speed Applications

3V wedge industrial V-belts are a high-performance solution for industrial power transmission systems that demand space efficiency and superior torque handling. Designed with a narrower profile than classical V-belts, 3V belts deliver more horsepower per inch of width, allowing for smaller pulleys and more compact drives without sacrificing power.

Manufactured from high-grade neoprene or EPDM rubber with strong polyester or aramid tensile cords, 3V belts resist stretching, heat, oil, and abrasion. Their wedge-shaped cross-section enhances grip within the pulley groove, reducing slippage and ensuring consistent, energy-efficient power transfer. The tighter fit also increases belt tension control and reduces vibration.

3V belts are available in both standard and cogged (3VX) styles. Cogged versions feature precision-molded notches on the inner side, allowing for greater flexibility, better heat dissipation, and improved performance on small-diameter pulleys.
