ContiTech 5VX800 Hy-T Wedge Cogged V-Belt Section Outside Length V-Belts - 5VX 80

The ContiTech 5VX800 Hy-T Wedge Cogged V-Belt is a narrow-section, raw-edge cogged power transmission belt engineered for high-horsepower, heavy-duty industrial drive applications. With a 5VX cross-section profile, 5/8" (0.625") top width, 17/32" (0.531") thickness, and an 80-inch outside circumference, this belt delivers reliable performance where space constraints and demanding load conditions are a factor.

Key Features:

• Cogged (Molded Notch) Construction — Notches reduce and evenly distribute thermal and bending stresses, improving flexibility and heat dissipation for longer belt life
• Vytacord® Polyester Tension Members — Flex-bonded tensile cords vulcanized as a single solid unit, providing exceptional resistance to tensile forces, fatigue, and shock loads
• Narrow Wedge Profile — 5VX cross-section allows use of smaller, lighter sheaves, reducing drive weight and enabling more compact drive designs than classical V-belts
• High-Grade Polybutadiene Rubber Construction — Engineered rubber compound delivers superior resistance to heat, ozone, oil, and abrasion
• Precision-Ground Straight Sidewalls — Ensures uniform wedging action and correct seating in pulley grooves for maximum traction and power transmission efficiency
• Static Conductive — Safe for use in environments where explosive gases, liquids, or powders are present and static sparks must be minimized
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Rated from -40°F to 230°F for reliable performance across industrial environments
• Raw-Edge Construction — Increases friction grip on sheave sidewalls for improved power transfer efficiency

The ContiTech Hy-T Wedge 5VX800 is ideally suited for industrial drives experiencing pulsating loads, vibration, short center distances, and small pulley diameters. Its narrow wedge design allows engineers to achieve required horsepower capacity with fewer or smaller belts compared to classical V-belt configurations, reducing overall drive costs and improving energy efficiency.
