Continental ContiTech HY-T Plus V-Belt, B173, 0.66" Width, 0.41" Height, 173" Approx. Inside Length

The B profile HY-T Plus Classical V-belt is 0.41" high, 0.66" wide, is built by Continental ContiTech with Vytacord tension members, and is suitable in industrial applications where mechanical or environmental abuse is a factor. The belt is commonly used for drives with small diameter pulleys and short-center distances. It is static conductive, making it appropriate in the presence of explosive gases, liquids, powders, and other substances where the possibility of static sparks must be kept to a minimum.

The HY-T Plus Classical V-belt is built with Vytacord tension members, a synthetic reinforcement that increases overall tensile strength and lends dimensional stability so that drive performance is more consistent and predictable over the life of the belt. The belt is backed in oil-and abrasion-resistant fabric, providing longitudinal flexibility and lateral strength to the belt. The cushion of the HY-T Plus Classical V-belt is crush-resistant, reducing downtime and belt replacement cost over time.

Traditional classical belts are designed for operating at higher speeds over small diameter pulleys and short-center distances. They can be used in multiple V-belt drives and are used frequently in abusive environments such as farming and manufacturing. They are constructed to withstand the heat of the outdoors and oily, dirt-filled manufacturing environments.
