73 Banded Belts Gold Ribbon™ Cog-Band® V-Belts • ELIMINATES BELT WHIP AND TURNOVER • 50% LONGER LIFE • HIGHER HP Banded version of “The Energy Saver”. Combines the longer life and superior performance of the Gold Ribbon Cog- Belt with the stability of banded construction. Gold Ribbon’s unique construction (combining the superior flexing of precision molded cogs with the tenacious gripping power of raw edge sidewalls) provides significantly longer belt life, higher efficiency and horsepower ratings and opportunities to save time, energy and space. The banded concept was developed for use where single or multiple belts are impractical because of space, weight or pulley limitations…where increased horsepower or speed is required or where unusually severe shock loads are encountered. The reinforced band across the top of 2 or more individual V-belts greatly enhances stability by eliminating belt whip and turnover. Prevents the belt from turning over or jumping off the drive. Recommended Pulleys Carlisle QD Type (B, C, D) RAW EDGE SIDEWALLS: Produce a higher coefficient of friction. Keeps a tighter grip on the pulley to reduce slippage. Improve performance and efficiency. OIL AND HEAT RESISTANT: Static dissipating. Specially formulated Neoprene rubber compounds protect against adverse environmental conditions. Energy Efficiency Comparison Gold Ribbon Cog-Band Conventional V-Band 95% 90% 85% 80% 75% PRECISION MOLDED COGS: Superior flexibility with reduced bending stress helps dissipate heat providing significantly longer belt life. Uses smaller pulley diameters. A cost and space saver. ORDERING INFORMATION For complete number, add number of ribs required. RBX108 3 Part Number Number of Ribs RBX RCX RDX
