ContiTech HY-T® Wedge Torque Team® 20040814 Cogged Banded Belt, 5VX Section, 5/8 in W Top, 75 in L Outside, 0.53 in THK, Polybutadiene

HY-T® Wedge Torque Team® Belts tame your problem drives. Built with multiple belts joined by a tough, rubber-impregnated fabric backing that regulates belt travel so all ribs pull together as a single, perfectly matched team. 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. 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 the belt. The cushion is made of fiber-reinforced, engineered compounds providing oil, heat, ozone and abrasion resistance.
