Mar.28.2025

V-Belts

Structure: Trapezoidal cross-section with fabric cover.

Material: Rubber or neoprene reinforced with polyester cords.

Applications:Industrial motors, pumps, and compressors.Agricultural equipment (e.g., tractors, harvesters).

Advantages:High grip due to wedge effect.Cost-effective for moderate power transmission.

Limitations:Prone to slippage under heavy loads.Less efficient at high speeds.

Timing Belts (Synchronous Belts)

Structure: Toothed design with reinforced fiberglass or Kevlar cords.

Material: Rubber, polyurethane (PU), or neoprene.

Applications:Precision machinery (e.g., CNC machines, robotics).Automotive engines (camshaft drives).

Advantages:No slippage – perfect synchronization.High efficiency (up to 98%).Suitable for high-speed operations.

Limitations:Requires precise pulley alignment.Higher cost than V-belts.

Flat Belts

Structure: Thin, flat cross-section with fabric or rubber layers.

Material: Leather, rubber, or polyurethane.

Applications:Conveyor systems.Textile machinery.Vintage or low-power machinery.

Advantages:Quiet and efficient for long-distance power transfer.Minimal pulley wear.

Limitations:Lower grip compared to V-belts.Requires high tension to prevent slippage.
