Rubber V-Belts

Rubber V-belts are used in industrial belt drives where reliable, friction-based power transmission is required. Their trapezoidal cross-section creates high flank friction, allowing high torques to be transmitted safely even in installations with limited space.

The V-belts are manufactured as endless belts from materials such as polychloroprene and EPDM and incorporate various high-strength tension members, including polyester, aramid, and fiberglass cords. This construction ensures smooth operation, good damping characteristics, and high operational reliability in continuous-duty applications. Compared to flat belts, rubber V-belts can transmit significantly higher power within a comparable installation space.

Depending on the application, different belt designs are available. Classical V-belts are wrapped with a protective fabric cover and are suitable for standard applications. Narrow V-belts offer improved power density and are typically used in compact drive designs. Banded V-belts consist of several individual V-belts joined together and are designed for high power transmission as well as shock loads. Wide V-belts are raw-edge and cogged, making them suitable for particularly demanding drive tasks.

Our rubber V-belts are available in numerous profiles and dimensions and can be optimally combined with matching V-belt pulleys.
