- Construction: Molded raw-edge sidewalls, fiber-loaded EPDM rubber
Features & Benefits
- Raw-Edge Traction: The un-wrapped, raw-edge design grips pulley walls aggressively, eliminating the energy loss, slippage, and heat buildup common in standard wrapped fabric belts.
- Central Neutral Axis (CNA): Features specialized CNA cord placement to seat the high-modulus polyester tensile cords perfectly inside the pulley groove. This ensures uniform tension and prevents belt rollover under sudden shock loads.
- Premium EPDM Compound: Engineered to handle punishing environments, resisting oil, hardening, heat, and ozone. It maintains full performance across an extreme temperature range of -50°F to 250°F.
- Chek Mate Matching: Manufactured to Timken's strict Chek Mate tight tolerances, meaning any batch of B87R belts can be paired seamlessly into a perfectly balanced, multi-groove drive configuration.
