3VX Cogged Wedge Industrial V Belt
3VX Cogged Wedge Industrial V-Belts – High-Efficiency Power Transmission for Compact Drives
3VX cogged wedge industrial V-belts are engineered to deliver superior performance in compact, high-speed industrial drive systems. Featuring a narrow profile and precision-molded cogs, 3VX belts offer higher power transmission, greater flexibility, and improved heat dissipation compared to standard V-belts, making them ideal for space-saving, energy-efficient operations.
Constructed from durable neoprene or EPDM rubber, 3VX belts are reinforced with high-strength polyester or aramid tensile cords for enhanced load capacity, minimal stretch, and long service life. The notched (cogged) profile reduces bending resistance, allowing the belt to wrap around smaller diameter pulleys without compromising performance. This also reduces heat buildup and improves energy efficiency.
3VX belts are a cogged upgrade to traditional 3V belts, providing all the benefits of the wedge configuration with added flexibility and reduced vibration. They are compliant with RMA / ARPM and ISO standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of industrial equipment.
