The Banded Cogged V-belt prevents rollover and reduces vibration tendencies. Such situations are not uncommon on drives with a combination of long belt spans and / or pulsating loads as created by an internal combustion engines or reciprocating pump and compressor. In such cases, belt whip may become so severe that belts interface with each other and turn over in the grooves or even jump out of the grooves. Banded cogged V-belts eliminate such problems.
