Timken Belts (Carlisle) R8VK2240-3 banded 8V narrow wedge V-belt, 3-rib construction, 224" outside length, 1" top width per rib, 7/8" depth per rib. Wrapped neoprene body with polyester tension cords resists oil, heat, and abrasion in heavy industrial drives. Tie band prevents vibration and whip on long-center or pulsating-load applications. Formerly sold as Carlisle R8VK2240-3. ISO 9001:2015 manufactured.

Features/Advantages

• Prevents belt whip and rollover
• Aramid cord provides high horsepower capability
• Highly engineered tie-band permanently bonds or “ties” multiple belts together to ensure smooth operation and enabling the belts to function as a single unit with even load distribution and wear
• Vibration is dampened
• Heavy shock loads are absorbed

Applications

• Oil field equipment, quarry applications, lumber industry drives, heavy construction machinery and more

NOTE: When R8VK belts are used as a matched set, all belts in the set must have the same sag number. These high modulus aramid cord belts require closer matching than standard R8V belts in order to tension properly as a set.

NOTE: Because of the high horsepower loads involved, standard 8V cast iron pulleys typically DO NOT have sufficient horsepower capacity to operate with the belt’s rated horsepower. As a result, special pulleys may be required.

Sizes

• R8VK cross-section from 202" to 562"
