Part of the BANDO Power Ace series, this belt measures 160 inches in outside length and 1 inch in top width, with a thickness of approximately 0.87 inches (22 mm). It features a single-rib wedge profile, which allows higher power capacity in a more compact cross-section compared to classical V-belt designs. HVAC mechanics, industrial maintenance technicians, and millwrights install this type of belt on blowers, compressors, fans, and drive systems that require reliable, slip-resistant power transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8v1600 is suited for heavy-duty belt drive systems found in commercial HVAC equipment, industrial air handlers, compressors, and pump drives. The 8V cross-section is a standard wedge profile used where space constraints or higher torque demands make classical belts impractical. This belt is appropriate for both new installations and replacement service on equipment designed for the 8V belt profile at a 160-inch outside circumference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWedge V-belt profile for higher power density versus classical V-belt cross-sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e160-inch outside length suits large-diameter or long-center-distance drive systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch top width with standard 8V cross-section geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22 mm (approximately 0.87 inches) belt thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-rib construction for straightforward single-groove sheave applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Ace series designation indicates industrial-grade construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a replacement for drive systems requiring an 8V-profile wedge V-belt with a 160-inch outside length.

Always de-energize and lock out the drive system before removing or installing belts. Never pry a belt over a sheave flange; reduce center distance to allow proper seating, then re-tension to the drive manufacturer's specification. Inspect sheave grooves for wear before installing a new belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Power Ace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8V Wedge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22 mm (approximately 0.87 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Ribs\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BANDO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8v1600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BANDO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51619915104562,"sku":"8V1600","price":140.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/58610eaeae4bd5974dfa07c3d1de1ea0.jpg?v=1787337131","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bando-8v1600-wedge-v-belt-160-in-1-in-top-width","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
