3VX Cogged Wedge Industrial V-Belts – High-Efficiency Power Transmission for Compact Drives
3VX cogged wedge industrial V-belts are engineered for exceptional performance in compact, high-speed drive systems where efficiency, flexibility, and durability are essential. With a narrow wedge profile and precision-molded cogs, these belts deliver higher horsepower capacity and improved energy transfer compared to traditional V-belts. Their advanced design allows equipment engineers and maintenance professionals to maximize performance in space-limited applications without sacrificing reliability.
Enhanced Flexibility and Heat Dissipation
Built with durable neoprene or EPDM rubber and reinforced with high-strength polyester or aramid tensile cords, 3VX belts provide outstanding load-carrying capability and minimal stretch. The cogged profile significantly reduces bending resistance, allowing the belts to operate efficiently on smaller pulley diameters. This notched construction increases airflow and heat dissipation, resulting in cooler running temperatures, reduced wear, and longer belt life in continuous-duty environments.
As the upgraded, cogged version of traditional 3V belts, 3VX belts deliver superior performance with enhanced flexibility, reduced vibration, and improved traction. They meet RMA/ARPM IP-22 and ISO 4184 standards to ensure compatibility with a wide range of industrial machinery.
