Power-Wedge® Cog-Belt®
The Power-Wedge® Cog-Belt® combines the advantages of narrow belt wedge design with
raw edge performance for maximum operating efficiency in a compact drive package.
The Power-Wedge Cog-Belt by Timken is now made of EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer),
a synthetic rubber with outstanding properties.

for optimum performance. High horsepower

ratings translate into greater design
flexibility – reducing drive cost, space and
weight. The narrow profile permits reduced
drive widths and a smaller drive envelope.
Raw edge construction contributes to
outstanding operating efficiency. More
torque with little or no slippage. The result
is savings – in time, in belt life and in
energy costs.
The Power-Wedge Cog-Belt meets ARPM
standards for static conductivity as well
as oil and heat resistance.
The Power-Wedge Cog-Belt is available in
3VX, 5VX, and 8VX cross sections as well as
metric sizes SPZX, SPAX, SPBX, and SPCX.
Where applicable, belts are dual branded
with imperial and metric part numbers.

3 EPDM
EPDM offers superior flex and load
carrying capacity. It resists belt cracking
and won’t stretch. EPDM has excellent
flexibility at high and low temperatures.
4 Raw Edge Sidewalls
Produces a higher coefficient of friction.
