Poly V Belts:
Sections and Nominal Dimensions:
Through its truncated rib design, multi-ribbed belts ensure an outstanding performance at higher speeds on smaller diameter pulleys. This smooth-running belt provides a power capacity.
Poly V belts are available in J, L and M sections. The figure below shows a cross-sectional view illustrating the nominal belt dimensions — rib width and belt height. All these belts will operate in standard pulleys provided the pulleys are manufactured to the DIN 7867 or ISO 9982 standard for the specific cross-section.
Advantages:
*Extremely smooth and cool running.
*Very high power capacity per rib.
*Long life due to extra load-carrying capacity.
*Improved performance on back idlers.
*Smaller drive package.
*Tolerant of pulley groove debris.
How to Measure A Poly V Belt:
Nominal top width: bb = Nr x Sg, Where: Nr = number of ribs, Sg = pulley groove spacing
