Classic Banded V-Belt Cross Reference

Banded V-belts are engineered power transmission belts made by joining multiple individual V-belts with a durable fabric top band. This integrated design forms a single, stable belt unit that distributes load evenly across the entire belt width, improving stability and performance. The construction is ideal for applications with high shock loads, vertical shafts, or slight pulley misalignment.

The "banded" designation refers to the belt’s standardized cross-sectional profile, ensuring compatibility across industry-standard pulleys. A key advantage of banded V-belts is their ability to reduce vibration, resist twisting, and prevent turnover on pulleys—critical benefits in heavy-duty operations. This results in smoother performance, longer belt life, and lower maintenance costs.

Banded V-belts are widely used in agriculture, mining, construction, and other demanding industries where consistent, high-reliability power transmission is essential. Their rugged construction ensures dependable performance even under extreme operating conditions, making them a preferred choice for drives that demand maximum durability.
