Champion VR5-8 V-Belt

The Champion VR5-8 / VRV5-8 / HR5-8 Replacement V-Belt (68" OD) is an industrial V-belt designed to transfer power from the motor to the compressor pump in air compressor drive systems. It is commonly installed in Champion rotary and reciprocating compressor packages to ensure belt-driven operation for air generation. Designed for continuous and intermittent duty cycles in compressed air systems operating in manufacturing, fabrication, and maintenance environments, this belt supports reliable drivetrain performance. Key specs include: Brand Champion / OEM equivalent; MPN VR5-8 / VRV5-8 / HR5-8; Outside Length 68 inches; Belt Section FHP or B-section (model dependent); Construction rubber V-belt with reinforced tensile cords; Cord Material polyester or aramid (application dependent); Function mechanical power transmission for the compressor drive system; Pulley Compatibility Champion VR/HR series compressor sheaves; Operating Temperature Range industrial compressor operating conditions; Features heat resistant, flexible, designed for compressor load cycling. Common applications include industrial air compressors, workshop compressor units, and OEM compressor systems where belt-driven pump operation is required, with rugged mechanical power transmission suited to industrial settings. For replacement options, common equivalents include Gates 5L680 / B65 V-Belt, Continental 5L680, and PIX 5L680.
