Familiarity with types of industrial belts

Flat belts: Flat belts are among the oldest belts for transmitting motion and power. In the assembly process, these belts need to be stretched a lot, which leads to the application of very strong loads. Also, due to the smoothness of the surfaces, it is possible to slide it on simple belts. This type of belt is designed to run in pulleys with v-grooves with an angle of 60 degrees. Round belts are only used in situations where the torque is relatively low. This group of belts are produced in different lengths and sizes.

v-belts (trapezoidal) (v-belts): Known as both v-belts and wedge ropes, these belts have a trapezoidal cross-section. This group of belts solves the disadvantages such as slippage and misalignment in flat belts. V-belts provide the best combination of traction, speed, bearing load and long life. Due to their greater thickness than flat belts, these belts require larger pulleys and have adjustable lengths with the ability to separate parts and accessories when necessary. To obtain the required high strength, use 2 or more trapezoidal belts in an arrangement like The name multi-v is connected next to each other, which can be applied in multi-groove belts. 6 V-shaped belts are made next to each other. Therefore, for the same surface area of ​​the disc, it gives us a thinner belt than a trapezoid, which makes the belt more flexible. This increase in productivity in practice is due to the reduction of heat effects on the belt. This reduces the operating temperature and increases the life of the belt during operation.

Ribbed belt: Ribbed belt is a power transmission belt that includes long grooves. This belt is a combination of flat belt and v-shaped belt. This belt is used in compressors, fitness bikes, agricultural machinery, food mixers, washing machines, lawn mowers, etc. Timing belts: This belt is named Another is also known as "toothed belt", "simultaneous belt" and "time belt". This belt has teeth with a specific and precise profile (shape) that is matched with a suitable toothed pulley (timing pulley) so that when it is properly adjusted, it does not slip after that and operates at a constant speed. This belt is often used to transmit direct motion with strict timing.
