Ribbed V-Belt

The ribbed v-belt is a single endless belt with longtudinal v-shaped ribs that match grooves in sheaves. It combines the flexibility of thin, flat belts with the strong gripping traction of conventional v-belts.

B. Adhesion Rubber

The adhesion rubber binds the tensile cord, fabric cover and compression rubber to prevent separation of the belt components during use.

C. Tension Cord

The tensile cord is the power transmission element within the belt. Cords are wound around the belt in an uninterrupted spiral for enhanced tensile strength. The cords are twisted in various configurations to match the load application and pre-stretched prior to belt assembly for length stabilization and minimum stretch during use.

A. Cover Fabric

The cover is abrasion resistant, flexible and provides a firm grip onto the sheaves to minimize slippage during use. It is woven from several plies of yarn, rubber treated for maximum adhesion and protects the contents from the elements and static build-up under adverse usage conditions.

D. Compression Rubber

The compression rubber provides support for the load carrying tensile cords while dissipating heat generated from belt use. It is formulated to be resistant to flex cracking and compression fatigue.

  • thin construction – highly flexible.

  • increased flexibility – minimize bending stress

  • less bending stress – longer belt life

The ribbed v-belt offer an uniterrupted tensile cord construction, compared to the sectional cord layout of banded conventional v-belts.
