the belt. The cushion is made of fiber-reinforced, engineered
compounds providing oil, heat, ozone and abrasion resistance.
Wedge or envelope constructions provide
optimum performance
HY-T® Wedge Torque Team® belts are available in a raw edge
construction with cogs for increased flexibility and heat
dissipation or envelope construction for drives where pulsation,
shock loads, high tension and long center are involved.
HY-T® Wedge Torque Team® cogged belts have high-horsepower
belt construction and are identified with a 3VX or 5VX prefix
and are available in lengths up to 140 inches. 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 result in
an average horsepower increase of 30% over standard joined
“
Classical” V-belts.
HY-T® Wedge Torque Team® 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. They feature a continuous V-section that is protected
by a wide angle, synthetic fabric-impregnated, high-quality
rubber compound. The unique envelope achieves the high
strength that the HY-T® Wedge Torque Team® belts need to
withstand high loading forces. It also helps provide the torsional
rigidity in long center drives delivering the traction needed for
accurate tracking and precision performance.
Pulsation, vibration, shock loads and misalignment are problems
for any team of V-belts, no matter how perfectly matched the
individual units. These conditions often lead to chronic belt
whip or to belt turnover, resulting in premature wear or sudden
failure of one or more belts. Of course, when one belt goes, the
whole team has to be replaced.
Each rib in a HY-T® Wedge Torque Team® belt is free to wedge
into the sheave groove for maximum traction, maximum power
and transmission efficiency.
Operating in standard sheave grooves without sheave or drive
modification, they can tame any problem drives now in operation.
Or they can fit right in with your new drive designs without
special modifications.
Designed and built to deliver
superior performance
V-belt performance begins with the tension members, so we
built HY-T® Wedge Torque Team® V-belts with super strong
Vytacord.® It provides the high-strength, high-horsepower
rating capacity needed to effectively transmit drive power.
And it is tough enough to tolerate the misalignment that
quickly destroys belts. The Vytacord® material is a polyester
construction with excellent strength and minimal elongation.
Drive performance is consistent, reliable and predictable over
the life of the belt.
We then add a tough oil- and abrasion-resistant fabric backing
to provide maximum longitudinal flexibility and lateral strength
to withstand the dynamic forces acting within a joined belt.
The backing also has special adhesion characteristics that
enable it to bond to the V-sections to maintain the integrity of
