BANDO Power Ace
Installation
- Select the appropriate size and type of Power Ace belt for your power transmission requirements.
- Ensure the pulleys are clean and free from any contaminants.
- Place the Power Ace belt on the pulleys, ensuring proper alignment.
- Tension the belt according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Check for any signs of misalignment or excessive wear and make necessary adjustments.
Maintenance
Power Ace requires minimal maintenance. However, it is recommended to perform the following tasks regularly:
- Inspect the belt for any signs of damage, such as cracks orfraying.
- Check the tension of the belt and adjust if necessary.
- Ensure the pulleys are clean and free from debris.
- If the belt is exposed to direct sunlight, consider using a belt cover for protection.
Operating Conditions
Power Ace is designed to operate under various conditions. However, please consider the following:
- Ensure the ambient temperature is within the specified range for optimal belt service life.
- Avoid exposing the belt to excessive oil mist, oil, or grease, as it may affect performance.
- If using Power Ace outdoors or in coastline areas, ensure it is not directly exposed to harsh weather conditions or ozone.
By following these instructions, you can maximize the performance and service life of your Power Ace belt.
Power Ace
Power Ace Product Introduction
Power Ace is a narrow V-belt for high power transmission capability that
significantly enhanced various characteristics and performance such as power
transmission capability, high speed, and reliability by changing the cross-
sectional structure of the previous V-belt. (Prescribed as Narrow V-belts for
power transmission in JIS K 6
Features
-
Allows miniaturization and cost reduction of power transmission devices.
Power Ace has an extremely high power transmission ca-pability, and the space for the power transmission device is about one-third of that of the standard V-belt.
Unlike chain transmission or gear transmission, it requires no lubrication device, allowing the equipment cost and mainte-nance cost to be reduced. -
Allows high-speed operation.
Power Ace has an extremely high power transmission capa-bility per belt and has a reduced loss in power transmission by centrifugal force; hence, it is also suitable for high-speed operation and can be used up to a speed of 40 m/s. -
Allows labor-saving in maintenance.
Power Ace has little belt elongation during operation and rarely requires re- tensioning. Unlike chain transmission and gear transmission, it requires no lubrication, allowing signifi-cant labor-saving in maintenance. -
Long belt service life and excellent reliability.
Power Ace, based on the ideal profile that was made by studying the power transmission theory as well as on the manufacturing technology on the highest standard, has a long service life and rarely incurs trouble during operation. -
Excellent physical characteristics.
-
Excellent heat resistance.
Generally, the higher the ambient temperature, the shorter the belt service life becomes; however, Power Ace can with-stand high temperature compared to the standard V-belt. Static electricity prevention.
It has an electric resistance performance that conforms to the U.S. RMA standard.*RMA (An abbreviation for Rubber Manufacturers Association) -
Excellent flame resistance.
The specially compounded chloroprene rubber used in Pow-er Ace has a self- anti-inflammation property and therefore can be used at ease. -
Excellent oil resistance.
It can be used even with slight adhesion of oil mist, oil, or grease. -
Excellent weather resistance and ozone resistance.
It can also be used outdoors and in coastline areas without problems. Where the belt is exposed to direct sunlight, please protect the belt with a belt cover of the like if possi-ble.

Structure
- Cover fabric
- Tension rubber
- Adhesion rubber
- Cord
- Compression rubber
Cord
It uses a polyester cord, has extremely little elongation, and has no concern
for peeling of the cord layer.
Compression rubber
The specially compounded chloroprene rubber reduces heat generation during
running and increases the belt service life.
Cover canvas
The special canvas has only a little tension and strain on the fiber even when
it is wound around a small-diameter pulley, reducing losses in power
transmission due to bending stress. It is also excellent in protection of the
inside of the belt.
Arched top
At the time of operation, it prevents cross-sectional deforma-tion of the belt
and maintains the group of tension members at a normal position; hence the
group of tension members receives a uniform force, leading to a longer belt
service life.
Concave side wall
When the belt is wound around a pulley, the belt side face becomes straight
and comes in uniform contact with the pulley, which increases the power
transmission capability. The abrasion on the belt side face is uniform, which
extends the belt service life
