8V Kevlar Corded Banded V-Belt Cross References

8V Kevlar corded banded V-belts represent the apex in power transmission technology, especially tailored for the most rigorous and heavy-duty applications. The "8V" classification denotes the belt's profile size, with a typical top width of approximately 1 inch (25.4 mm) and a depth of about 7/8 inch (22.2 mm), although these dimensions can slightly vary between manufacturers. This profile is designed for superior strength and power transmission capabilities, suitable for the highest demand applications.

The incorporation of Kevlar, a high-strength synthetic fiber known for its extraordinary tensile strength and resistance to thermal degradation and abrasion, into these belts, substantially elevates their performance. Kevlar's resilience against stretching and breaking under load ensures that the belts maintain consistent tension and efficiency over time, even in the harshest environments.
