Overview

Product Description

Aramax® Super Power-Wedge® bands are ideally suited for oil field equipment, rock and quarry applications, forestry industry applications and heavy construction machinery.

Aramid cord provides maximum protection against belt breakage due to shock loads.

When compared with 5V and 8V belts, the horsepower capacity per rib is significantly higher and provides substantial cost savings in belts and metal.

Overhung load is also reduced and can extend equipment service life.

Because of the high horsepower loads involved, standard 5V and 8V cast iron Q-D® pulleys typically DO NOT have sufficient horsepower capacity to operate with the Aramax® Super Power-Wedge® band at the belt's rated horsepower.

As a result, special pulleys are frequently required.

Due to the unique nature of these "super high performance" banded belts, no drive design literature is available.

Use drive engineer to run an existing drive analysis.

When designing a new drive, we suggest working with a Timken belts application engineer.

Note: R5VK has a brown clutching cover and is not static dissipating, R8VK has a black cover and is static dissipating.

When these R5VK and R8VK belts are used as a matched set, all belts in the set must have the same sag number.

These high modulus aramid cord belts require closer matching than standard R5V and R8V belts in order to tension properly as a set.

Maximum number of ribs available is 12.
