Optimal power transmission

Difference between power belts and individual belts

Regarding the belt profile, power belts are compatible with individual belts. Individual belts are connected with some extra top layers, so that more individual belts can be interlinked.

They are distinguished through its high transverse rigidity and show beneficial operating behavior when it comes to vibrations with big axial distances. Due to the flexible top layer , length differences are now a thing of the past.

Power belts are an alternative to multiple individual belts. With the individual belts installation is very easy because of the light weight.

Raw-edged and covered V-belts

When it comes to V-belts we differentiate between raw-edged and covered V-belts.

XPB is a raw-edged V-belt with the dimensions of the B profile. SPB is a covered narrow V-belt with dimensions of the B profile.

The raw-edged V-belt has advantages when it comes to wear and tear behavior, smoothness and frictional connection. The covered narrow V-belt is excellent because of its high efficiency.

Notched belts

Due to the molded cogs the belt is easy to bend and can only be found with raw-edged belts. Because of the reduced cross section the belt underlies low abrasive wear and offers benefits regarding the energy efficiency.

Alternatively the moulded cogs also allow you to use smaller pulleys.

Power transmission

Power transmission takes place due to friction between the belt edge and the V-shaped groove.

The friction is clearly higher than with the flat belt version. Thus the V-belt can transmit a higher performance density.

Facts about the most common high performance belt models

The latest maintenance-free belts from reputable providers offer even more comfort and security. As the belts almost don´t elongate after shrinking, they are almost maintenance-free.

As we are independent from the providers, we can offer you the optimal belt for your needs.
