Sterling Seal & Supply, Inc. (STCC) has been supplying quality V-Belts to the industry for over 50 years. Bando USA V-Belts continuously make improvements in materials, design and manufacturing methods which make the Power King classical cross section belt the workhorse of the industry. Bias cut, rubber impregnated fabric cover provides superior flexibility and friction resistance. The material is both oil and heat resistant. Ultra-high strength polyester cords assure fatigue resistance and length stability while providing the flexibility needed to attain long, trouble-free service. Specially compounded rubber body reduces heat build-up while giving firm support to the cords, maintaining uniform load distribution.
V-Belts supplied by Sterling Seal & Supply meet ARPM standards for oil and heat resistance and static conductivity. Proper installation techniques will assure that you get full service life and minimum downtime from your belt drives. The key to long, efficient, trouble-free belt operation is proper tension. If belts are too loose, the result is slippage, rapid belt and sheave wear and excessive “down time.” Conversely, too much tension imposes excessive strain on belts, bearings and adjacent drive components, resulting in premature wear of one or all of the drive parts. The proper tension is the lowest tension at which the belt(s) won’t slip or “squeal” under peak load.
