405050 POWERTWIST Drive B/17/5L

Anytime, Anywhere, Anybelt, B/17/5L section Powertwist Drive V Belts combine industry standard horsepower ratings, superior performance in challenging operating environments with fast, easy installation and are a permanent replacement upgrade from traditional rubber V belts.

Best Suited For:

Any power transmission application designed to use classical B/17/5L section industrial rubber V belts. Also ideal for conveying applications designed for B/17/5L section belts.

Powertwist Drive can't be outperformed!

Powertwist Drive sets the standard for link V belt longevity and durability. Other brands don't come close. The combination of high strength and low elongation under load simply cannot be beaten. Because they're made of a custom-designed, high-tech polyurethane/polyester composite, Powertwist Drive V belts won't fail you when others may. The result? Less downtime. Higher productivity. Reduced maintenance costs.

Everyday industrial workhorse. Minimized maintenance time. High performance polyester/polyurethane composite technology with the same horsepower ratings as conventional rubber V-belts. Easy to inventory. Offer problem solving alternatives to V belts of classical cross-sections. Drop-in permanent upgrade for conventional endless rubber V-belts

The right belt at the right time!

Instead of trying to carry all the endless V belt sizes you might need, with Powertwist Drive, you only need to stock the most common cross sections - 3L, 4L/A, 5L/B, C and D - and you'll have almost 100%, on-site availability guaranteed. With Powertwist Drive you will reduce the inventory dollars you have tied up in replacement V belts and still have instant availability.

Perfectly suited to Z/10, 3L, A/13, B/17, C/22, and D/32 drives. Reduced inventory… any belt, any time!

No tools required.

No matter what equipment you are operating, productivity is critical. Powertwist Drive V Belts minimize downtime with no tools required, easy installation in minutes without machine tear-downs or struggling with rusted-down motor bases.

Powertwist Drive V-Belts have the same cross section dimensions as conventional endless V-belts and can be installed on existing pulleys with no changes in set-up.

Single or matched V-belt sets can be made with a flick of the wrist! Powertwist Drive V Belts can be made up to required length by hand in seconds and rolled onto the drive just like a bicycle chain. Their custom multi-ply composite construction prevents roll-on damage. If conventional rubber V belts are installed this way, almost certainly some of the load-bearing tension cords will be broken, leading to significantly reduced belt life.

Easier, faster installation. Easily installed without dismantling drive components. Make any length by hand in seconds without any tools. Simplified drive design

Tame hostile environments

If your V belt drives are operating in hostile, nasty environments, you've got to take advantage of the high performance properties of polyurethanes. That's why we use a high performance polyurethane elastomer reinforced with multiple plies of polyester fabric for Powertwist Drive. This custom material provides Powertwist Drive with significantly superior resistance to oils, grease, water, most common industrial/agricultural chemicals and solvents. Plus an operating temperature range, with no loss of performance, of -40º F to +240º F. Conventional SBR/chloroprene brand V belts simply can't compete.

If your drive environment is like hell's kitchen and conventional V belt life is down to a few months, Powertwist Drive may be your long term answer.

Longer belt life in harsh operating conditions. Unaffected by extreme temperatures, water, steam, oil, grease, and common industrial chemicals and solvents

Reduce transmitted vibration.

All conventional V belts with a continuous tensile cord will transmit vibrations from the motor to driven components; these vibrations cause system noise and can significantly shorten bearing life. The segmented twist-lock design of Powertwist Drive acts as a vibration dampener - vibration can enter a link but cannot be transmitted as there is no continuous tension cord present. Save your bearings - fit Powertwist Drive V-belts!

unique belt construction dampens transmitted motor vibrations, extending the bearing life and reducing noise levels. high resistance to abrasion and shock loads
