Continental® HY-T® Torque Team Wedge® Cogged is static conductive, making it appropriate in the presence of explosive gases, liquids, powders, and other substances where the possibility of static sparks must be kept to a minimum. It is built with Vytacord tension members, a synthetic reinforcement that increases overall tensile strength and lends dimensional stability so that drive performance is more consistent and predictable over the life of the belt.Cogs on the inner surface of the belt increase air flow to dissipate heat and prolong belt life.See pulley section and if you have any question Contact Us.

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.
