FAQ
What products does Bestorq make?
Bestorq’s lineup includes V-belts (wrapped, cogged/raw-edge, banded, aramid cord, open-end, hex) plus timing belts and specialty belt solutions for demanding industrial applications.
Which Bestorq belts are made in the USA?
Bestorq states that all X5 Cogged V-Belts are manufactured in their Lincoln, Nebraska facility.
What’s the difference between wrapped and cogged V-belts?
Wrapped belts are commonly used for general-purpose, smooth operation, while cogged belts are designed for greater flexibility and energy efficiency, especially on smaller pulleys or higher-torque drives.
Are Bestorq belts oil- and heat-resistant? What temperature range can they handle?
Bestorq’s product literature describes belts built with engineered compounds designed for heat and oil resistance, and lists a temperature rating of -70°F to 260°F for certain belt constructions.
Do Bestorq belts meet ARPM/ISO standards or antistatic requirements?
Bestorq notes belts that meet ARPM belt standards, are static conducting to ARPM & Mine Safety standards, and lists certifications such as ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 / ISO/TS 16949 in their brochure; some product families also reference meeting or exceeding ARPM and ISO standards.
How do I choose the right Bestorq belt size (length/profile)?
Bestorq provides selection tools like a V-belt quick selection guide, a belt length calculator (using pulley diameters + center distance), and a stock sizes library to help you match the right profile and length.
Can Bestorq cross-reference a belt from another manufacturer?
In most cases, their engineering team can cross reference specs and recommend the right Bestorq equivalent.
How do I order Bestorq timing belts (and what do the part numbers mean)?
Bestorq’s brochure describes HTD-type, trapezoidal, and dual-sided timing belts and gives ordering formats that use belt length (OC measurement), pitch, and width, with dual-sided belts noted by a “D” prefix. They also note timing belts are stocked in sleeves and cut to width per order, and include a compatibility note that they will not fit/run in Gates Poly Chain GT pulleys.
