Thermoid® V-Belts PRIME MOVER™

Prime Mover is a premium-rated, heavy duty industrial
V-Belt. It is available in A, B, C, D and E cross-sections.
This one versatile belt can power nearly very drive in
your plant. Prime Mover Belts are oil and heat resistant
and static conducting. Multicord construction is standard
for D and E sections; special order for C section belts
when less than 200" is required. B-section Belts 120" through
200" and C-Section belts 120" through 200" are
branded Unicord®. They are produced to much tighter
Sure-Set tolerances, ensuring excellent match-ability.
The center distances variations have been reduced
on Unicord belts, producing smoother-running belts

MAXIPOWER™
This wedge-type, multiple drive belt with its deep-V design
enables a smaller belt to carry a bigger load, It can
operate at higher speeds up to 6,500 feet-per-minute.
The belt width and groove spacing are narrower and
that reduces sheave face width 30% to 50% compared
with classical belt drives. Decreased sheave width
means less shaft overhang, which places a lighter load
on bearings and increases bearing life. Maxipower
belts are oil and heat resistant and static conducting.
As belt drive systems are designed or redesigned,
consider Maxipower belts. Belts that will do the job
more economically and use less space. Maxipower
belts are available in 3V, 5V and 8V sizes and these
belts are also available in a special order Kevlar*
