Description

The HY-T Wedge belt is a narrow profile belt for compact, high horsepower drives, high shock loading on short centers and small diameters. It is ideal for compact, heavy-duty drives where space limitation is a factor. The HY-T Wedge belt has a narrower cross section than standard V-belts so it distributes stresses more uniformly to deliver more consistent, more reliable power transmission. The 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 Goodyear Engineered Products HY-T V-belt construction results in a higher horsepower capacity. 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. Since less power is required to run the smaller, lighter drives, more power gets to the load. Users may be able to downsize drive motors and/or increase drive efficiency. HY-T Wedge belts are available in a cut-edge construction with cogs for increased flexibility and heat dissipation or envelope construction for drives where pulsation, shock loads, high tension, and long centers are involved. HY-T Wedge Cogged belts are high-horsepower belt constructions that are identified with a 3VX and 5VX prefix and are available in lengths up to 200˝. 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 belts 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.
