V BELTS ( BLACK BELT, DUNLOP, GATES, MITSUBISHI, BANDO, PIX X’TRA) Leave a comment

V-Belts are the most common type of drive belt used for power transmission. Their primary function is to transmit power from a primary source, like a motor, to a secondary driven unit. They provide the best combination of traction, speed transfer, load distribution, and extended service life.

Advantages of V-belt drive

  • High power transmission capacity because V-grooves provide excellent grip.
  • The functioning of the belt and the pulley is smooth and quiet.
  • The V-belt drive provides compactness due to the small distance between the centers of the pulleys.
  • Slip between the belt and the pulley is negligible.
  • The axis can be horizontal, vertical or inclined.
  • They can dampen vibration.

Disadvantage of belt drive

  • Limited Speed range.
  • They are not compact.
  • Considerable power loss.
  • Short service life compared to other mode power transmission.
  • The velocity ratio may vary due to belt slip.
  • They inflict a heavy load on shafts and bearings.
