Features:
This belt is a power transmission V-belt for drives with a small diameter sheave
It is made of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber for resistance to weathering, oils, water, and some solvents
It has a truncated profile for increased flexibility and reduced heat buildup on high-speed drives with small diameter sheaves
It has fiber-reinforced ribs for resistance to wear and is smooth running for minimal vibration at high speeds
This V-belt meets Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) oil and heat resistance standards and static conductivity requirements and is suitable for use with applications such as appliances, outdoor power equipment, roller conveyors, machine tools, medical equipment, and exercise equipment
V-belts, also called fan belts in automotive applications, link two or more rotating shafts to transmit power in a drive system
The trapezoidal shape of the belt's cross section wedges into the groove of a similarly shaped sheave or pulley to provide traction and alignment
This wedging action increases as the load increases, providing higher torque transmission and minimal slippage
V-belts are standard for belt-driven power transmission and can be used in single- or multi-belt systems for increased carrying power
They are found in drive systems in the automotive, agricultural, textile, printing, mining, and office equipment industries, among others
