Wedge V-Belt Cross References

Wedge V-belts are high performance power transmission belts engineered with a narrower, deeper profile than classical V-belts. This wedge shaped design increases the belt’s surface contact with pulley grooves, delivering greater grip, reduced slippage, and higher power transmission in a more compact drive system. The deeper profile allows the belt to seat firmly in the pulley, enabling it to transmit more torque over a smaller contact area with improved efficiency.

Manufactured from durable rubber or synthetic polymers and reinforced with high strength tensile cords, wedge V-belts maintain shape and tension under heavy loads. Their construction resists stretching, wear, and deformation, making them ideal for high torque, high efficiency applications. Common uses include HVAC systems, agricultural machinery, industrial equipment, and other heavy-duty power transmission systems where space is limited but performance demands are high.
