Continental® HY-T® Wedge Torque Team® Belts formally Goodyear EP is the big league choice when it comes to banded belt performance. Built with multiple belts joined by tough, rubber-impregnated fabric backing that regulates belt travel so all ribs pull togetheras a single, perfectly matched team. 
 

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

  1. Enhanced Stability: The banding keeps multiple belts together as a single unit, preventing individual belts from flipping or slipping off, even under heavy loads.

  2. Higher Power Transmission: Banded V-belts can handle higher loads without stretching or losing tension, ensuring consistent power delivery.

  3. Reduced Vibration: The banded construction minimizes vibration and noise, improving operational efficiency and reducing wear on machinery.

  4. Improved Alignment: Banded V-belts maintain precise alignment on pulleys, reducing friction and prolonging the life of your machinery.

  5. Lower Maintenance: These belts are less prone to stretching, misalignment, and wear, which increases their operational lifespan and reduces maintenance needs.

  6. Cost-Effective: By reducing downtime and maintenance, banded V-belts can be more cost-effective in the long run
