Superior Bands
Here at Superior Bands, we understand the immense importance of everyday maintenance. Without a quality supplier of maintenance parts to keep your system running, unexpected downtime can cause major supply chain delays. That’s why we focus on quality Polyurethane O-rings. We start with fresh American-made Polycord. Using the best quality, freshest cord eliminates any concern of premature dry-rotting and part failure. Each band is cut by hand by our production specialists. We focus on a strong weld on our O-ring drive bands. With our manufacturing, you can be assured that your Poly O-Rings will not pull apart with use. Polyurethane O-rings undergo stress when running conveyors continuosly and a poor weld will not hold up to the daily operations of a distribution center. After the polyurethane O-ring is welded, our technicians grind each weld down by hand to ensure a smooth band. If an O-ring is oversanded, it can lead to imperfections that significantly reduce the lifespan of the band. That’s why we inspect each O-ring after it’s sanded to ensure quality control.
We offer a variety of cross-section thicknesses and colors, as well as various durometer (hardness) levels including High Tension Blue, High Tension Green, Black, Red, and Orange.

What are Polyurethane O-rings?
Polyurethane O-rings, also known as polyurethane, urethane, O-ring belts, or O-ring drive belts are the industry standard for most motor pulley to shaft applications. These mostly include conveyor systems in large distribution centers. Poly O-rings are used as a driving factor on many different machines, including, but not limited to: line shaft conveyors, robotics, engravers, roller-to-roller conveyors and transfers, pop-up diverters, sorters, laundry machines, tire manufacturing, and printing machines. There are three common methods to determine the O-ring size you need.
Common Cross Sections Include: 1/8″, 3/16″, 1/4″, 5/16″, 3/8″
Method One: Cut Length (Measuring of Prewelded/Endless Polyurethane)
Method Two: Application Measurement (Measuring of Conveyor Line Shaft)
Method Three: From a Twisted O-Ring Length
