Reduce your belt inventory to one box (25 Ft. of belting) for each width rather than storing multiple lengths of rubber belt sleeves which will deteriorate when hanging on the wall over a long period of time. The Power Twist Belt absorbs vibration, will not deteriorate and no disassembly of equipment needed when installing. This belt is a high performance polyurethane elastomer reinforced with multiple plies of polyester fabric. This gives excellent resistance to extremes of temperature, abrasion, exposure to oils, grease, water, steam, and common industrial solvents and chemicals. Past performance shows probability of lasting up to 15 times longer than conventional V-belts.
Power Twist Belt (Link V-Belt) – Key Benefits
The Power Twist Belt (often called a link V-belt) is a modular drive belt made from interlocking links. Unlike traditional one-piece rubber belts that can stretch, glaze, or take a “set,” this style of belt is designed to hold its shape and help reduce vibration on many belt-driven machines.
Why customers choose a Power Twist Belt
- Reduces vibration & improves smoothness: Traditional belts can become misshapen over time; link belts retain shape to help reduce vibration.
- Custom length in minutes: Add or remove links to dial-in the perfect fit and tension—no guessing belt sizes.
- Easy installation: Install by assembling links (and you can remove links later if you need to re-tension).
- Great “problem solver” belt: Ideal when the original belt size is hard to find, or when you want a quick, adjustable replacement.
- Durable composite construction: Commonly made from polyurethane elastomer with polyester reinforcement for strength and longevity.
Great for many belt-driven machines
Power Twist belts are commonly used on equipment where smoother operation matters, including:
- Table saws
- Band saws
- Drill presses
- Wood lathes
- Small compressors, fans, and other shop equipment (match your belt profile/size)
How it works
- Modular links connect together to form the belt length you need.
- Adjustability makes it easy to set proper tension without buying multiple belt sizes.
- Consistent shape helps reduce belt “thump” and vibration compared with belts that develop flat spots.
Quick sizing guidance
Measure your current belt (or your machine’s required belt spec) and select the correct belt profile/width. Then order the belt by length (often sold by the foot) and assemble to the exact size needed.
- Tip: If replacing an older belt, you can match the assembled link belt length to your old belt length, then fine-tune tension by removing/adding links.
Simple installation overview
- Remove the old belt (if installed).
- Assemble the Power Twist Belt to the approximate length needed.
- Install the belt on the pulleys and check alignment.
- Add/remove links to achieve proper tension (firm, but not over-tight).
- Run the machine briefly, then re-check tension and alignment.
FAQ
Will a Power Twist Belt really reduce vibration?
It often helps because link belts are designed to retain their original shape, while traditional belts can stretch and become misshapen over time—one common cause of vibration. Results can vary by machine condition and pulley alignment.
Do I need special tools to adjust the length?
Typically no—length is adjusted by adding or removing links, making it easy to get the fit just right.
Can I reuse it if I change machines or pulley setup?
Yes. Since it’s modular, you can shorten or lengthen it later (within reason) by removing or adding links.
How do I know which size to buy?
Match the belt profile/width your machine requires (or the belt you’re replacing), then choose a length that gives you enough material to assemble to your final size.
Notes for shoppers: Always confirm belt profile/width and pulley compatibility for your specific machine. Proper pulley alignment and correct tension also make a big difference in performance.
