Aramid Fiber Belts (Kevlar)

Offering The Best Selection of Aramid Belts

Aramid belts are belts that are made of special fibers for applications that are typically a little more high intensity. They are unique because of their strength and resistance to heat. This has made aramid fibers particularly useful for aerospace and military uses, which means it ought to be good enough for your lawnmower.

These fibers, and kevlar in particular, typically replace the polyester cords found within a standard belt. Many kevlar belts are even distinguished by the blue color like the one in the photo below.

Of course we recognize kevlar from applications like bullet proof vests but they are in many things including bicycle tires or even bike belt replacements for chains. This doesn’t mean that any belt lasts forever. It is still definitely possible to burn through an improperly fitted belt regardless of the material so make sure to properly install your belt. Once installed properly these belts can add longevity and durability to your equipment saving you time and money in the long run. This is part of the reason they are so popular and are among our best sellers.

Today, many companies are continuously developing new advancements in this field and are improving these belts as well as decreasing the cost. We are looking forward to passing on these developments and savings to you with each new product offered by leading brands.

If you are looking to upgrade or improve the longevity of your equipment, then considering an aramid belt is a great step in the right direction. If you are having problems finding what you are looking for in any of the categories below, please feel free to contact us or call us at (702) 843-0588.
