General
Operation
AdvantagesV-belt drives permit large speed ratios and provide long life. They are
easily installed and removed, quiet, and low maintenance.
LimitationsV-belts will slip and creep, V-belts should not be used where synchronous
speeds are requires.
Sizes - See
V Belt Sizes for more.Industrial V-belts are made in two types: heavy -duty (conventional, narrow),
and light duty. Conventional belts are available in A, B, C, D and E sections.
Narrow belts are made in 3V, 5V, and 8V sections. Light-duty belts come in
2L, 3L, 4L, and 5L sections. Open-end belting is available in A, B, C, D,
and E sections, and in some sizes for low-horsepower.
Agricultural belts are made in the same sections as conventional belts
however, they are designated HA, HB, HC, HD, and HE: in double-V sections HAA,
HBB, HCC, and HDD.
Automotive belts are made in six SAE-designated cross sections identified by
the nominal top widths .38, .50, .69, .75, .88, and 1.00 in. (10, 12, 17, 19,
22, and 25 mm).
V-belts can be manufactured in any length within a fairly wide range.
