Continental® 5VF, 8VF Torque Team Plus® Banded V-Belts formally Goodyear EP tension members are aramid cable cords. They are twisted from aramid fiber, which is five times stronger than steel, then are treated for adhesion, improved flex life and increased resistance to shrinkage. Torque Team Plus® belts exhibit only one-half of the initial elongation of other belts and maintain greater dimensional stability over the life of the belt. They stand up to higher horsepower, high-tension drive requirements, shock loads and abusive installations better then standard joined belts, multiple V-belt teams or chain and sprocket drives. See our pulley section for 5V or 8V Section QD Bushing Type Pulleys.

Running banded V-belts offers several benefits, especially for heavy-duty applications:

Enhanced Stability: The banding keeps multiple belts together as a single unit, preventing individual belts from flipping or slipping off, even under heavy loads.
Higher Power Transmission: Banded V-belts can handle higher loads without stretching or losing tension, ensuring consistent power delivery.
Reduced Vibration: The banded construction minimizes vibration and noise, improving operational efficiency and reducing wear on machinery.
Improved Alignment: Banded V-belts maintain precise alignment on pulleys, reducing friction and prolonging the life of your machinery.
Lower Maintenance: These belts are less prone to stretching, misalignment, and wear, which increases their operational lifespan and reduces maintenance needs.
Cost-Effective: By reducing downtime and maintenance, banded V-belts can be more cost-effective in the long run
