SPB5990 (16.3x5990 Lp) Wedge Belt

The SPB5990 Wedge Belt manufactured by PIX has a top width of 17mm, an inside length of 5930mm, and an outside length of 6012mm.

Wedge Belts are the second most common type of belt. They are slightly deeper than V Belts which gives them more surface contact with the pulleys which in turn increases the power they can transmit. Wedge Belts provide the best combination of traction, speed of movement, load of the bearings and lastly, maintain a long service life, therefore making them very cost effective.

Wedge Belts are a trapezium shape section reinforced on the outer edge with a heat-set, pre-stretched Polyester cord. The Polyester cording carries high horsepower loads and minimises stretch which means the Wedge Belt will require fewer take up adjustments.

We stock a great range of lengths in all sections, however if you have any difficulties finding a specific length, please contact our sales team and they will gladly assist.
