Product Offering
Classical & Aramid V-Belts
The reliable and superior-crafted line of industrial belts offered through A & I Products is one of the most extensive in the marketplace today. Traditional "Classical" models make up the largest group of belts and are utilized significantly in the industrial field. Classical V-belts are the first to enter the power transmission scenario. Continued efforts of research and development have enabled Classical belts to achieve power ratings considerably higher than most other belts available in the market. The compounds used to manufacture these belts are chosen to match the stipulated power ratings and to also offer distinct advantages towards increased safety on critical drives.

Multi-Band Belts
Multi-Banded Belts are made from Classical or Wedge belts with a strong tie-band over them. The band widths are available in multiple sizes depending on the application. A&I will cut the belts to meet the number of bands required for a customer's application. These belts tend to prevent rollover and reduce vibration tendencies. Such situations are not uncommon in drives with a combination of long belt spans and/or pulsating loads as created by an internal combustion engine or reciprocating pump and compressor. In such cases, belt whip may become so severe that belts interface with each other and turn over in the grooves or even jump out of the grooves. Banded V-belts eliminate such problems.

Industrial Timing/Synchronous Belts
Timing Belts can best be described as the belts with integrally molded teeth on its inside which makes positive engagement with axially-grooved pulleys. Timing belts are also known as synchronous belts or positive drive belts. Synchronous belt drive is not considered as a substitute or replacement to other modes of belt drives. Its unique feature enables use in positive drive resulting in precise movement of drive components. High strength, excellent flex life and high resistance to elongation are achieved.

Lawn & Garden Belts
One of the world's largest inventories of Lawn & Garden Belts is offered by A & I Products. Our line of Aramid corded lawn and garden belts have become increasingly popular over the years due to their extreme strength, durability, and value-added pricing. Aramid corded belts (also called Aramid or extra-heavy duty belts) are constructed of organic polyaramide fibers that are manufactured using complex chemical processes. Aramid is used in belts as a tension member because of its inherent stability and high tensile strength cord. Aramid constructed belts are specifically used on applications where: high levels of power
transmission are required; there are restrictions on the drive width; the installation and take-up allowances are minimal; and the drive is critical.
