vee belt
When it comes to vee belt their’s more to just throwing them on and walking away. Unfortunately in most cases this is exactly what is done. Another misconception is that v-belts do not need to be replaced until they have completely broken and will not function at all. V-belts will stretch and start slipping long before they will break. V-belt dressing will buy you some short term time but is not the answer. A quality preventive maintenance program may include automatically replacing vbelts every six months depending on equipment run time.
The wedging action of the raw edge cogged v-belt in the pulley groove allows them to transmit higher torque at less width and tension than flat belts. Typically, it is endless. It requires larger pulleys than flat belts because of their greater thickness. When compared to the flat belt, it is far more superior at small center distances and high reduction ratios.
It is commonly known that there are some general types of belts. In addition to rubber v-belt and timing belts, the V-belts and film belts also have many characteristics and applications. V-belts are the basic power-transmission type, providing the best combination of traction, operating speed, bearing load, and service life. They are typically endless, with a trapezoidal cross section which runs in a pulley with a V-shaped groove. The wedging action of them in the pulley groove allows them to transmit higher torque at less width and tension than flat ones.
