Here are some considerations when deciding if a v-belt drive is right for your project:
Belt Style |
Denomination/Top Width |
---|---|
Conventional: most common v-belt style; used in many transmission applications |
A: .5"
B: .625"
C: .875"
D: 1.25"
E: 1.5"
|
Fractional Horsepower: a v-belt for light loads and small engines |
2L: .25"
3L: .375"
4L: .5"
5L: .65"
|
Narrow: as strong as conventional v-belts, but with smaller widths |
3V: .375"
5V: .625"
8V: 1.0"
|
Hexagonal: a v-belt with a hexagonal cross-section which can gain traction on pulleys placed inside or outside the belt drive. |
AA: .5"
BB: .625"
CC: .875"
|
At Torque Transmission we specialize in manufacturing pulleys that work with the 2L size V-belts for fractional horsepower. Our pulleys use a combination of a molded glass reinforced nylon pulley with a machined aluminum hub for strength. We also offer custom v-belt pulleys for applications where “off the shelf” pulleys aren’t suitable.
