INTRODUCTION TO V BELTS:
• V-Belts are friction based power or torque transmitters. The power is transmitted from
one pulley to the other by means of the friction between the belt and pulley.
• The rubber used as the base material plays a very vital role in this. This is quite similar
to the friction between the tyre and road in the automobiles that enables the
automobiles to move on the road.
• The V-Belt is called so because of its cross section. The cross section of a V-Belt is
similar to that of the letter ‘V’.

• Here’s is a brief outline on the power transmitting capacity of the each section type of the
belt:
1. Section ‘A’ Type - 0.1 kW to 3 kW 2. Section ‘B’ Type – 0.5 kW to 6 kW
3. Section ‘C’ Type – 1 kW to 12 kW. 4. Section ‘D’ Type - 3 kW to 32 kW.

ADVANTAGES OF V- BELTS:
1.They transmit higher torque with lesser width and tension compared to other type of belts.
2.They can be used in areas with very less arc of contact of the belt.
3.They can be operated in speeds ranging between 5 to 30 m/sec.
DISADVANTAGES OF V- BELTS:
1.Due to the wedging action of the belt and increased bending and windage losses the efficiency of the
belt is about 3% lesser than the other type of belts.
2.Apart from this the belt does have the tendency to slip at high loads and gets easily damaged during
slipping.
