HY-T® Torque Team® CX (Classical) Banded Belts

Continental® Torque Team Laminated cogged V-belts can withstand the punishment that results from jams in log and lumber processing applications.Standard V-belts resist slipping when a jam occurs, causing excessive heat buildup that can lead to belt failure and costly downtime. But that won’t happen with Torque Team Laminated V-belts on the job. The special sidewall of Torque Team Laminated V-belts acts as a control switch, allowing the belts to slip as needed until the obstruction is cleared. As a result, the superior wear-resistant capabilities of Torque Team Laminated V-belts are maintained, increasing belt life up to four times longer than standard V-belts.

When a V-belt is described as "cogged," it means the belt has notches or grooves cut into its inner side. These notches can enhance flexibility and reduce the bending force needed as the belt wraps around pulleys. This design can also improve the belt's grip, efficiency, and cooling ability. Here's a quick rundown of the benefits of cogged V-belts:

  1. Flexibility: The notches make the belt more pliable, allowing it to bend more easily around small diameter pulleys.

  2. Efficiency: Reduced bending force means less energy is lost in the form of heat, leading to improved overall efficiency.

  3. Heat Dissipation: The notches help in better air circulation, which can reduce the belt's operating temperature and extend its lifespan.

  4. Grip: Enhanced gripping ability reduces slippage and improves power transmission.
