HY-T® Wedge Cogged belt s are high-horsepower belt
constructions that are identified with a 3VX and 5VX prefix
and are available in lengths up to 200 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 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 belt s 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.

that a conductivity check be added to drive preventive maintenance
programs where belt static conductivity is a requirement.

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 Continental ContiTech 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.

Matchmaker

®

performance

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.

Cut-edge or envelope constructions
provide optimum performance

HY-T® Wedge belts are produced with a highly engineered
EPDM compound available in a cut-edge cogged construction
for increased flexibility and heat dissipation with a broader
temperature range than ever before (-40F to 230F/-40C to
110C). This belt can handle extremely high temperatures and
is also available in envelope construction for drives where
pulsation shock loads, high tension and long centers are involved.

HY-T® Wedge Belts

A narrower cross section and
stronger construction reduces
drive costs

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.

Applications

Narrow profile belts for compact, high horsepower drives, high
shock loading on short centers and small diameters. For designing
compact , heavy-duty drives where space limitation is a factor.
