cogged v belt, as the name implies do not have textile wrapping on the outer surface and are produced by slitting individual cogged v belts form rubber sleeves.

The manufacturing methods also make it simpler to produce cogged v belts with cogs underside thereby reducing the bending resistance of the cogged v belts and allowing them to operate on pulleys with approximately 20% smaller diameters. The decreased bending resistance reduces mechanical losses during bending and leads to improved efficiency and reduced working temperature. Heat dissipation is further improved by the larger area between the cogged v belt and the surrounding atmosphere and also by the air turbulence around the cogs during operation. Multi stage drives can be eliminated. These cogged v belts require a higher tension than the wrap cogged v belts so as to exhibit higher power transmission capability.

Applications

It is recommended to use these cogged v belts in borderline cases if difficulties are anticipated in using wrap construction cogged v belts.
