Power-Wedge® Cog-Belt®

Power-Wedge® Cog-Belt®

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Power-Wedge® Cog-Belt® is designed for high efficiency and cost-effectiveness in power transmission applications. It features Hi-Modulus cords that carry high horsepower loads with minimal stretch, offering better belt stability and fewer adjustments.
Key Features:
  • Higher Horsepower Rating: Compared to conventional belts, allowing for greater design flexibility and reduced drive costs.
  • Longer Belt Life: Enhanced durability and reduced need for replacements.
  • Lower Cost and Space Requirements: The narrow profile reduces drive widths and the overall drive envelope.
  • Raw-Edge Construction: Contributes to high operating efficiency with more torque and minimal slippage.
  • Static Dissipating and Resistant: The belt is resistant to heat and oil, ensuring reliability in various conditions.
Design and Performance:
  • Exclusive Molded Cog Design: Improves belt flexibility, reduces bending stress, dissipates heat, and requires less power, ensuring longer life when replacing wrapped wedge-type V-belts.
  • Raw Edge Sidewalls: Increase the coefficient of friction, maintaining a tighter grip on the pulley to reduce slippage and improve performance.
Specifications:
  • Available Lengths: The Power-Wedge Cog-Belt is available in all 3V lengths, 5V, and 8V up to 200 inches.
  • Recommended Pulleys: Carlisle QD Type (3VX, 5VX, 8VX).
Horsepower Rating Comparison: A graphical comparison shows the Power-Wedge Cog-Belt outperforming conventional V-Belts in horsepower rating, particularly in a 5V section drive at 1750 RPM with a 1.5:1 belt drive ratio.
Product Variants: Detailed specifications for 3VX, 5VX, and 8VX sections are provided, including effective part lengths, metric numbers, and weights.

V-Belts 22 Power-Wedge® Cog-Belt® Hi-Modulus Cords Carries high horsepower loads with minimum stretch. Better belt stability. Fewer take-up adjustments. • HIGHER HORSEPOWER RATING THAN CONVENTIONAL BELTS • GREATER DESIGN FLEXIBILITY • LONGER BELT LIFE • LOWER COST • LESS SPACE • MATCHING Designed for maximum efficiency at a lower cost. Higher horsepower ratings translate into greater design flexibility — enabling you to reduce drive costs, space and weight. You need fewer belts. The narrow profile permits reduced drive widths and a considerably smaller drive envelope. Carlisle’s Raw-Edge construction contributes to outstanding operating efficiency. More torque with little or no slippage. The result is savings - In time. In belt life. And in energy costs. The Power-Wedge Cog-Belt is static dissipating and heat and oil resistant. It’s available in all 3V lengths, 5V and 8V to 200 inches. It’s a premium belt — with no premium in price.
