5VK Aramid Wedge Industrial V-Belts – High-Torque, High-Performance Power Transmission
The 5VK Aramid Wedge Industrial V-Belt is a premium heavy-duty drive belt engineered for applications that demand exceptional torque capacity, long service life, and consistent performance under extreme operating conditions. With its wedge-style geometry and reinforced aramid cord construction, the 5VK belt delivers superior power transmission efficiency and unmatched durability in demanding industrial environments.
Superior Strength with Aramid Reinforcement
Featuring a 5/8-inch (0.62") top width and 0.53-inch height, the 5VK wedge profile increases the belt’s surface contact within the pulley groove, ensuring stronger grip, reduced slippage, and enhanced torque transfer. What truly sets this belt apart is its aramid tensile cord—similar to Kevlar®—known for exceptional tensile strength, minimal elongation, and outstanding resistance to shock loads.
Aramid cords provide far greater durability and load-bearing capacity than traditional polyester or fiberglass reinforcements. This makes 5VK belts the preferred choice for high-load, high-speed, or continuous-duty applications where reliability and low maintenance requirements are essential.
