This enhances the wedge effect for a superior grip. These belts also excel in strength, durability, and antistatic properties, meeting the U.S. RMA standard for electrical resistance. With double the transmission force of conventional belts, they offer high speeds, energy efficiency, and a compact design, making them ideal for various applications. ![maxstarwedgecomposition](https://www.mblusa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/maxstarwedgecomposition.png?width=600&height=323&name=maxstarwedgecomposition.png "maxstarwedgecomposition") 3V 5V 8V ![maxstarwedgeprofile3V-1](https://www.mblusa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/maxstarwedgeprofile3V-1.jpg?width=350&height=350&name=maxstarwedgeprofile3V-1.jpg)   ![maxstarwedgeprofile5V](https://www.mblusa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/maxstarwedgeprofile5V.jpg?width=350&height=350&name=maxstarwedgeprofile5V.jpg)   ![maxstarwedgeprofile8V](https://www.mblusa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/maxstarwedgeprofile8V.jpg?width=350&height=350&name=maxstarwedgeprofile8V.jpg)   ##### Construction | **Cover fabric** | Cotton/Polyester mixture | | --- | --- | | **Adhesion rubber** | Chloroprene | | **Cord** | Polyester | | **Compression rubber** | Chloroprene | ##### Characteristics | **Heat resistance** | +90°C / +194°F | | --- | --- | | **Cold resistance** | -30°C / -22°F | | **Max belt speed** | 40 m/s | | **Electric conductive** | Yes |   #### Multi MAXSTAR WEDGE ![Multi MAXSTAR Wedge color](https://www.mblusa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Multi%20MAXSTAR%20Wedge%20color.png?width=1405&height=997&name=Multi%20MAXSTAR%20Wedge%20color.png "Multi MAXSTAR Wedge color")   Banded V-belts are available in 2, 3, 4, and 5 ribs.
