V-Belts

V-Belts are a variety of drive belts that feature tapered sides designed to fit into pulleys with side guides.

Their unique shape, which features a trapezoidal cross-section, allows them to tightly wedge into grooved pulleys or sheaves ad transmit power as tensions rise.

The unique shape of V-Belts allows them to fit securely in pulleys without a risk of side drift of the belt turning over.

V-Belts are the most widely used type of drive belt due to their excellent torque transmission capabilities.

V-Belts are sued for power transmission throughout many industrial applications.

They are easy to install, cost-effective, come in a wide variety of sizes, and are available in light to heavy-duty varieties.

V-belts transmit power from a motor to pulleys to power many types of components, including compressors, fans, water pumps, roller, and paddles.

V-belts are also used in light-duty drilling machines, lathes, and manufacturing applications.

The Rubber wrapped V-Belts are designed and manufactured to deliver superior performance with high tensile strength and durability.

V-Belts come in a variety of profile options, each featuring different dimensions.

The Classic rubber wrapped V-Belts have a profile dating back to the 1930's and were originally designed to replace leather belts.

Today they are used in a variety of applications and are available in different sizes, including:

• A Classic V-Belts:  This type of V-Belt has a standard 13mm width.  They are manufactured at a 40° angle and used in applications relating to agriculture, HVAC, lawn and garden care, and more
• B Classic V-Belts:  Featuring a standard 17mm width.  Similar to the A Classic V-Belts, B Classic V-Belts are used in single belt drives in applications relating to HVAC, lawn care, and agriculture.
• C Classic V-Belts:  This type features a standard top width of 22mm and is not considered a light-duty belt.  C Classic V-Belts are used in applications relating to mining and rock crushing.
• D Classic V-Belts:  D Classic V-Belts are suitable for more heavy-duty applications, such as oilfield supply, rock crushing, mining, and agriculture.  They feature a 32mm top width.
• E Classic V-Belts:  Similar to the D Classic V-Belts, E Classic V-Belts are also a more heavy-duty belt.  They are suitable for all standard industrial applications and feature a 40mm top width.

The main components of the Classic V-Belts are:

1. Body:  Made of a special rubber compound which provides high transmission efficiency
2. Cord:  Consisting in high-strength low stretch cords
3. Fabric:  permits the use of a backside idler
