8VK Aramid Wedge Industrial V-Belts – Maximum Strength for High-Torque Industrial Power Transmission
The 8VK Aramid Wedge Industrial V-Belt is engineered for extreme-duty power transmission where maximum strength, durability, and torque capacity are essential. Built with advanced aramid (Kevlar®-equivalent) tensile cords, these belts provide exceptional tensile strength, minimal elongation, and superior resistance to shock loads. This makes 8VK belts the premier choice for high-horsepower, high-torque machinery operating in harsh industrial environments.
Engineered for Maximum Power and Durability
With a 1.0-inch top width and 0.88-inch height, the 8VK belt features a deep wedge profile that generates increased contact area within the pulley groove. This enhanced grip reduces slippage and maximizes torque transfer, allowing operators to run compact drive systems without sacrificing performance. The aramid cord construction ensures outstanding dimensional stability and thermal resistance, extending belt life even in continuous-duty, high-load applications.
Manufactured from premium rubber compounds, 8VK belts resist oil, heat, abrasion, and mechanical shock. Their construction exceeds demanding RMA / ARPM industry standards, ensuring compatibility with OEM equipment and consistent performance across a wide range of industrial applications.
