Types of power transmission belts Have you ever wonder what is the reference of the v-belt you need? You have the dimensions but you don’t know the reference? We will explain the differences and give you the dimensions

Transmission belts high performance, long service life, uniform geometry, high flexibility, suitable for flat belt transmission. Temperature resistance from -35 ºC to +70 ºC. Limited oil resistant, Antistatic A Section Belt Top Width: ½” Height: 5/16” B Section Belt Top Width: 21/32” Height: 7/16” C Section Belt Top Width: 7/8” Height: 17/32” D Section Belt Top Width: 1-1/4” Height: 3/4” E Section Belt Top Width: 1-½” Height: 29/32”

Fractional Belts Designed for high speed drives and short center distance. Commonly used in low horsepower motors and diesel engines. Great durability, limited oil resistance and antistatic.

Wedge Belts Fabricated with a specially develop high grade elastomer, low stretch tension cord as reinforcement and a wear resistant fabric as cover, to last long and deliver maximum quality suitable for flat belt transmission.

Metric Belts Used where a high power transmission required is needed and the space is reduced. Can transmit 1.5 to 2 times higher powers than classical belts with the same top width.

Banded Belts Used in any application where horsepower capacity or output is needed. Recommended to use where belt vibration or belt whip causes unsatisfactory results where multiple conventional V-belts are used.

Double Sided transmission belts Use to transmit power on both sides of the belt. Commonly used on drives that have one or more reverse bends, such as lawn and garden equipment, conveyors and others.
