Aramid Reinforced V-Belt 8V-40
Aramid-reinforced V-belt with an 8V-40 trapezoidal cross-section, designed for high-speed conveyor systems. The aramid cord reinforcement does not alter its classification under rubber transmission belting, as the belt remains a vulcanized rubber product. It is not an endless belt of the type specified in the sibling tariff item, so it falls under the 'other' category.
