DESCRIPTION

WORLD'S BEST (WB) BELTS

Manufacturing, quality control certifications =-ISO-14001, ISO-9001, and IATF-16949
3rd Generation heavy-duty, high-twist Aramid Fiber cord for high-horsepower tensile load requirements, making it one of the strongest belts on the market.
Higher shock load rating to date being able to withstand the power of the 400hp machines.
Increased top cog pressure load design that increases sidewall rigidity, prevents top cog bowing, but still allows for increased rotational flexibility.
Bottom cog uses high-modulus rubber compound (BZX1) for better heat resistance and heat dissipation.
Bottom cog is impregnated with short Aramid Fibers for better belt-to-sheave adhesion and reduced overall belt temperature.
Latest bottom cog design for greater rotational efficiency at full shift.
Precision ground sidewall angle (SCUFFING) for smooth engagement, increased power transfer and lower operating belt temperature.
Aramid Fiber cord, versus polyester, wraps over bottom cogs for increased bottom cog strength.
Increased cord pop-out resistance.

EXTREME (EX) BELTS:

EX belts have been developed with a high-temperature compound called DUMAX for added strength, flexibility, and heat resistance.
Ultra-strong Aramid Fiber cord that can handle/carry more than 10,000 pounds of tension without stretching or breaking.
Higher strength compared to OEM and aftermarket drive belts
Delivers exceptional 'belt squeeze' for more tuning possibilities and less slippage.
Maximum under-cord stiffness allows the belt to flex for rotational efficiency and cooler running temperatures
Built for high temps, extreme abuse, and excessive shock load.

Drive Belt Failures

Hour Glassing

Description: A narrow or worn section in the center of the belt.

Cause: When the drive clutch is spinning and the belt remains stationary.

Status: Not Warrantied

Cord Pop Out

Description: When the center cord separates from the belt.

Cause: Improper bonding.

Status: Warrantied

Flex Crack

Cause: The belt was bent/flexed improperly.

Status: Not Warrantied

Glazing

Description: The sides of the belt look shiny and overheated.

Cause: Belt slippage, overheating from improper clutching and/or abuse.

Status: Not Warrantied

Tearing

Description: The drive belt appears to have hit something and is starting to tear or has torn.

Cause: Worn or damaged clutches causing the clutches not to shift properly. Excessive use of brakes or jumping. The belt will bow and can catch the inner clutch housing.

Status: Not Warrantied

Delamination

Description: Separation of the belt layers.

Cause: Improper bonding of the belt layers.

Status: Warrantied

Broken Belt

Cause: Shock loading the belt will cause breakage. Driving at high speeds (overdrive) for long periods of time. Excessive engagement RPM. Improper gear ratio, clutch center-to-center distance. Jammed or locked drivetrain.

Status: Not Warrantied

Disintegration

Description: The drive belt has separated into pieces.

Cause: Can be caused by different belt conditions such as hour glassing, glazing, flex cracks, or misalignment. Plugged or restricted air intake to clutch housing.

Excessive heat build-up is the main cause of disintegration.

Status: Not Warrantied
