Ultrapower AGTM “KC”


Ultrapower AGTM “KC” is constructed specifically for those drives where a clutching function is essential to
successful operation.
Compounded to provide a maximum durability during the “clutching” phase of operation, the “KC’s”
envelope, aramid fiber tension members and low profile design provide extended service life and superior
flexibility to handle idler and reverse bend drive configurations typical of many power
equipment applications.
Envelope - Bando’s “KC” envelope is designed specifically to handle the “wear and tear” of clutching
applications. Bias cut, cross woven fabric is oil and heat resistant.
Tension Member - Aramid fiber tensile cords transmit up to 20% more horsepower than traditional polyester
construction. High modulus cords placed just above the neutral axis resist elongation, reducing or
eliminating re-tensioning or expensive take-up mechanisms.
Compression Section - Formulated to reduce heat buildup for a cooler running, longer lasting belt, the
Banprene® compound balances firmness with flexibility to maintain cross sectional uniformity
