8V Wedge Industrial V-Belts – Heavy-Duty Power Transmission for Demanding Applications
8V wedge industrial V-belts are engineered for high-horsepower, heavy-duty power transmission systems where performance, durability, and efficiency are critical. With a narrower yet deeper wedge profile, 8V belts deliver exceptional load-carrying capacity while allowing for more compact drive designs. These belts are ideal for industrial environments that require reliable operation under extreme torque and continuous use.
Constructed from premium neoprene or EPDM rubber, 8V belts are reinforced with high-strength polyester or aramid tensile cords for maximum durability, stretch resistance, and dimensional stability. The deep “V” profile ensures a tight grip within pulley grooves, maximizing friction and power transfer with minimal slippage.
For enhanced performance, 8VX cogged versions feature precision-molded notches that increase flexibility, improve heat dissipation, and allow for smoother operation on smaller pulleys or at higher speeds. Banded 8V belts are also available for applications involving shock loads or belt whip, providing stability and even load distribution across multiple ribs.
