The savings start in the basic wedge or narrow design of the HY-T
Wedge belt. It has a narrower cross section than standard V-belts
so it distributes stresses more uniformly to deliver more consistent,
more reliable power transmission.
A wedge cross section means the belts are narrower and weigh less.
Narrower belts allow for the use of thinner and lighter sheaves,
resulting in a more efficient drive.
The savings continue through the higher horsepower capacity
provided by Goodyear Engineered Products HY-T V-belt
construction. Vytacord tension members, provide strength and
dimensional stability. Higher horsepower capacity is also provided
through a tough engineered rubber compound cushion, adding to
belt strength.
HY-T Wedge, with its narrow cross-section, makes it possible to
achieve a required horsepower with fewer HY-T Wedge belts than
with standard V-belts, reducing sheave size, sheave costs, and belt
costs even more.
Since less power is required to run the smaller, lighter drives, more
power gets to the load. Therefore, you may be able to downsize
drive motors and/or increase drive efficiency for even more savings.

HY-T Wedge belts eliminate mismatch problems as each
Matchmaker belt is mirrored in size and performance to every
other HY-T Wedge belt in that size, no matter when or where it
was produced.

HY-T Wedge belts are available in a cut-edge construction with
cogs for increased flexibility and heat dissipation or envelope
construction for drives where pulsation, shock loads, high tension,
and long centers are involved.
HY-T Wedge Cogged belts are high-horsepower belt constructions
that are identified with a 3VX and 5VX prefix and are available
in lengths up to 200˝. The cogged construction provides the
high flexibility required for short center distances. The cogs also
provide a larger surface area to dissipate heat and prolong belt
life. Improved material properties and advanced construction
technology results in an average horsepower increase of 30% over
standard “Classical” V-belt and wedge belts.
HY-T Wedge Envelope belts are identified with a 3V, 5V, or
8V prefix and are recommended for drives where pulsation,
shock loads, high tension, and long centers are involved. It
features a continuous V-section that is protected by a wide angle,
synthetic fabric impregnated with high-quality engineered rubber
compound. This unique envelope achieves the high strength
HY-T Wedge belts need to withstand high loading forces. It
also provides the torsional rigidity required in long center drives
delivering the traction needed for accurate tracking and precision
performance.

*Drive conditions and service variables in combination with time in operation can result in a loss of static conductivity. It is recommended that a conductivity check
be added to drive preventive maintenance programs where belt static conductivity is a requirement.
