Standard V-Belts, Banded V-Belts, & Other V-Belt Styles at EPCO
At EPCO, we distribute V-belts in a range of styles for various applications. Our inventory of V-belts includes standard V-belts, cogged V-belts, banded V-belts, and more. The choice of V-belt style depends on multiple factors, including the application's torque and speed requirements, environmental conditions, and the specific machinery or equipment being used. If you have questions about the best V-belts for your application,
contact us, and our team will help you find the best V-belt for your job.
Standard V-Belts
Standard classical V-belts are the most common type of V-belts, characterized by their trapezoidal cross-sectional shape. These V-belts are suitable for general-purpose applications with moderate power transmission requirements, typically used in industrial machinery, HVAC systems, and farm machinery. Epco Sales’ new generation of Bestorq X3 Classical V-Belts are specially designed to be low maintenance and extra durable for belt life that will outlast the competition. They are created to carry a high load capacity and have greater energy efficiency than competitor v-belts.
Banded V-Belts
Banded belts are an excellent alternative to single-matched belts since they are perfectly matched every time. They consist of multiple classical V-belts joined together by a band. Banded V-belts are often used in heavy-duty industrial applications and high-torque situations.
Wedge V-Belts
Wedge V-belts feature a deep V design, which allows a smaller belt to carry a heavier load. Wedge V-belts have a deeper cross-sectional shape than classical V-belts. This design offers improved power transmission efficiency and higher load-carrying capacity, ideal for industrial and agricultural machinery. Wedge V-Belts are recommended for drives that have pulsation, shock loads, high tension and long centers.
Cogged V-Belts
Cogged V-belts have cogs or notches on their inner side, which help them grip the pulleys better and reduce slip. The cogged design provides better flexibility and resistance to heat and bending fatigue. Wedge cogged V-belts are commonly used in applications where reduced slippage is critical. Epco Sales carries a new generation of Bestorq X5 Cogged V-Belts which are made of EPDM compound for three times the belt life and only 40% of the energy useage.
Link Belting
Link V-belts comprise individual links that can be assembled to the desired length. They are versatile and used in applications with non-standard pulley distances.
Classical Hex V-Belts
Classical Hex V belts are dual-sided and designed so that either side of the belt can be used as the driving surface. They are used in dual-pulley drives for more power.
Industrial Applications for V-Belts
V-belts find diverse applications across various industries. V-belts drive critical components in agricultural equipment like combines and tractors to drive machine components. In manufacturing, v-belts are used to power machinery for cutting, grinding, milling, and other specialized processes. V-belts also drive fans, blowers, and pumps to maintain efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning in HVAC systems. V-belts are also used in lawn and garden equipment, demonstrating their versatility and importance in various mechanical applications.
