5V Wedge Industrial V-Belts – High-Torque, Space-Saving Power Transmission Solutions
5V wedge industrial V-belts are designed to deliver exceptional performance in medium to heavy-duty power transmission systems where torque capacity, efficiency, and compact design are essential. Their narrow, deep-wedge profile enables higher horsepower transfer per inch of width compared to classical V-belts, making them the ideal choice for modern industrial equipment requiring powerful performance in limited space.
Engineered Strength for Demanding Industrial Drives
Constructed from premium neoprene or EPDM rubber, 5V belts offer outstanding resistance to heat, oil, abrasion, and environmental wear. High-strength polyester or aramid tensile cords provide exceptional dimensional stability, reduced stretch, and superior resistance to shock loads. The wedge-shaped geometry increases belt-to-groove contact area, improving traction, reducing slippage, and ensuring consistent, energy-efficient power transmission even under elevated loads and continuous-duty operation.
For applications requiring greater flexibility and improved cooling, 5VX cogged belts feature precision-molded notches. These cogs reduce bending resistance, enhance airflow, and deliver more efficient performance on small-diameter pulleys or high-speed drive systems.
