Bando 5v1700 V-belt Power Ace Series

Product Description

The BANDO 5v1700 is a Power Ace series V-belt engineered for demanding industrial and HVAC drive applications. The belt features a bias-cut cover fabric that reduces bending stress around sheaves, which lowers heat buildup and extends service life. Extra-strong polyester tension cords are treated for fatigue resistance, stretch resistance, and adhesion. The rubber body compound maintains structural uniformity while staying flexible enough to minimize heat generation under load. Licensed HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, and equipment service professionals install this belt as a direct replacement or maintenance item on belt-driven systems.

The 5v1700 fits 5V cross-section drive applications common in rooftop HVAC units, air handlers, industrial blowers, compressors, and other belt-driven rotating equipment. The Power Ace series is suited for both light commercial and industrial environments where consistent belt tension and thermal stability are critical to uptime. Technicians working on variable-speed or fixed-speed sheave systems will find this belt appropriate for standard 5V drive configurations.

Key Features

• Bias-cut cover fabric reduces bending stress around sheaves and lowers heat buildup
• Extra-strong polyester cords treated for fatigue resistance, stretch resistance, and improved adhesion
• Engineered rubber body compound maintains structural uniformity under continuous load
• Meets RMA standards for oil resistance, heat resistance, and static conductivity
• Designed to extend belt service life in high-cycle drive applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5V cross-section V-belt replacement for belt-driven HVAC, blower, compressor, and industrial drive systems requiring a 5V series belt.

Installation Notes

V-belt replacement is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or mechanical contractors. Disconnect and lock out all power to the drive system before removing the existing belt or adjusting sheaves. Use a belt tension gauge to set proper tension after installation — over-tensioning shortens bearing and belt life, while under-tensioning causes slippage and heat buildup. Inspect sheave grooves for wear or misalignment before installing the new belt.
