Bando Power Max® V-Belts are specialized, high-performance power transmission components engineered for heavy-duty variable speed applications. Unlike traditional industrial belts, these are wider in proportion to their thickness and feature extreme crosswise rigidity combined with lengthwise flexibility. This advanced construction prevents the belt from bowing inward under high load, ensuring precise speed control, minimal cord misalignment, and extended belt life.
Key Engineering Features
-
- Extreme Crosswise Rigidity: Transversely aligned fiber reinforcement within the belt cogs keeps the profile rigidly stable across the sheave. This reduces heat buildup and prevents edge cracking.
- High Lengthwise Flexibility: The specialized cogged pattern allows the belt to smoothly bend around small sheave diameters without excess structural strain.
- High-Load Tensile Cords: Built with tough, specially treated polyester cords that resist stretch and fatigue, allowing the belt to absorb heavy, repeated shock loads while maintaining high horsepower transmission.
- RMA Certified Protection: Fully complies with RMA standards for oil and heat resistance and static conductivity, making them safe for demanding industrial settings.
