Carlisle Transportation Products R5V1700-6 V-Belt

R5V1700-6 is a six-strand, 5V-section Wedge-Band V-belt from the Timken Belts (Carlisle) family, engineered as a banded version of the Super Power-Wedge belt. A tie-band permanently bonds multiple belts into a single unit to deliver even load distribution and wear, making it suitable for drives that demand high capacity and load sharing across several belt strands. The belt’s 5V section features a top width of 0.625 in (15.9 mm) and a nominal outside length of 170 in, with manufacturing notes indicating Made in the USA. This belt is designed for industrial power transmission drives where multiple belts are used in parallel to meet peak torque and reliability requirements. It is commonly encountered on heavy-duty belt drives in manufacturing and other industrial machinery that rely on banded belt configurations to maintain consistent power transfer. The R5V1700-6 designation is used by Carlisle/Timken to identify this specific belt, and it is cross-referenced in supplier catalogs and Dodge drive components as 143393.
