V-Belts & Accessories
A V-belt is a one-piece, V-shaped transmission belt that has high flexibility and traction. It combines the advantages of both a flat belt and a ribbed belt. V-belts, like other friction belts, are driven by friction – in this case the friction that occurs in the wedge, unlike, for example, a timing belt that is driven by the teeth on the belt. A V-belt guarantees a stable and efficient belt drive, as its shape ensures the position of the belt in the V-belt pulley.
A rubber V-belt is produced with a reinforcement of fiberglass or Kevlar, which makes them suitable for almost all types of power transmission, as they can withstand temperature conditions from -18°C to +80°C. They are also antistatic and cannot rust. For machines with high loads and long belt lengths, we recommend using a reinforced V-belt. This type of V-belt ensures up to 50% increased tensile strength. Reinforced V-belts are manufactured in durable EPDM rubber, which makes them extra durable, as they are produced with a reinforced fiberglass or Kevlar reinforcement, which increases the service life and capacity of the V-belt.
We sell V-belts from PIX, Megadyne, Gates , Continental and Optibelt in classic and timing versions. A timing V-belt is extra flexible, which makes it easier to get around V-belt pulleys with small diameters, as the teeth make the V-belt more flexible. We offer classic V-belts in Z, A, B, C, D and E profiles, Cogged V-belts in ZX, AX, BX, CX profiles, narrow V-belts in SPZ, SPA, SPB, SPC profiles, timing narrow V-belts in XPZ, XPA, XPB, XPC profiles, double V-belts in AA, BB, CC profiles, auto V-belts in AVX10, AVX11, AVX13, AVX17 profiles and accu-link V-belts in Z, A, B, C profiles. V-belts are produced in accordance with applicable ISO and DIN standards. V-belts are available in standard sizes and can be manufactured to specific dimensions on request.

Important knowledge about V-belts
V-belts, also known as V-belts, are a type of drive belt used in many industrial machines. They are used to transfer power from one pulley to another and have a V-shape, resulting in smooth and efficient operation. To achieve the most reliable operation, choosing the right V-belt is crucial. When choosing your next V-belt, consider the following important factors:
1. Belt type: There are several types of V-belts, including classic V-belts, narrow V-belts and power belts. Classic V-belts, which are the most common, are used for standard purposes. Their profiles are called: Z, A, B, C, D, E, and in the timing version they are called ZX, AX, BX, CX. Narrow V-belts, a further development of classic V-belts, can run in the same V-belt pulleys as regular classic V-belts. Due to increased height and an improved design, they have an improved tensile strength of up to 25%. Their profiles are called: SPZ, SPA, SPB, SPC, and in the timing version they are called XPZ, XPA, XPB and XPC. Power belts, which are V-belts assembled at the back, provide a higher tensile strength and help to avoid vibrations
2. Belt width: The width of the V-belt is important because it affects the amount of power that can be transmitted. A belt that is too narrow will not be able to handle the load, while a belt that is too wide will not fit on the pulley. It is important to choose a V-belt that is the right width for your application.
3. Length: The length of the V-belt is important because it affects the way the belt fits on the pulleys. A belt that is too short or too long will not fit on the pulleys. You should measure the distance between the pulleys and choose a V-belt that is the correct length.
4. Cross section: The cross-section of the V-belt refers to its profile or the shape of the belt when viewed from the side. V-belts are available in the following profiles: Y, Z, A, B, C, D and E, and each profile has its own unique properties and sizes that make them suitable for different applications.
5. Tension: The tension of the V-belt is important because it affects the way the V-belt fits on the pulleys and the amount of power that can be transmitted. A belt that is too loose will not provide proper traction, while a belt that is too tight can cause excessive wear on the pulleys, bearings and the belt itself.
6. Material: V-belts are available in a variety of materials, including rubber, EPDM rubber and polyurethane ( PU ). The different materials have their own unique properties that make them suitable for use in different industries. For example, V-belts made from rubber are durable and weather resistant, and can withstand temperatures ranging from -25 to +100 degrees, making them ideal for high-heat machines, while PU V-belts are flexible and oil resistant, making them ideal for applications that expose the V-belt to oil and chemicals.
You must therefore take the belt type, width, length, cross-section, tension and material into consideration when choosing a V-belt, as these factors play a crucial role in the efficiency and performance of the application.
Convert to V-belts - Convert length from Li to Ld & La
Our online V-belt length converter is an efficient and reliable little tool for finding the desired V-belt length. The tool allows you to convert the length of the V-belt from its inner length (Li) to its effective length (Ld) and outer length (La), so you can easily choose the right size for your machine.
Using our online tool you can enter the inner length and in a few seconds get the effective length (Ld) & outer length (La). All you have to do is select your V-belt profile and enter the inner length of your V-belt.
Once you have entered these parameters, our tool will calculate the effective length (Ld) & external length (La) of the V-belt and show you the correct result. This makes it easy and quick to find the right size V-belt for your machine, so you can get back to work.
