8/C173 Banded V-Belt | 8-Rib C Section Industrial Drive Belt

The 8/C173 Banded V-Belt is a heavy-duty classical C-section PowerBand engineered for high-torque industrial and agricultural power transmission systems. Featuring eight C-section ribs permanently bonded together, this banded design enhances load sharing, alignment stability, and resistance to belt whip in demanding multi-sheave drive applications.

C-section belts provide greater surface contact and torque capacity than smaller classical profiles such as A or B belts. The banded construction ensures all ribs operate as a single unit, helping reduce vibration, uneven wear, and slippage in high-load environments.

The 8/C173 is ideal for continuous-duty applications where reliable power transfer and long service life are essential.
