Informaiton About V-Belts | man style

There’s lots of types & sizes of commercial industrial Versace belts on the market today including A,AX,B & BX size v-belts. A & B size v-belts have a smooth inside edge unlike AX & BX size v-belts that have a cogged or notched inside edge more often used in high torque situations. In case you are uncertain what type ought to be used in your application check together with your equipment distributor or supplier. A v-belt cross reference list can assist you in crossing v-belt numbers, as lots of vbelt manufactures have different part numbers for the same size v-belts.

Another misconception is that v-belts do not require to get replaced until they have broken & won’t function at all. V-belts will stretch & start slipping long before they will break. V-belt dressing will buy you some short term time but is not the answer. A quality preventive maintenance program may include automatically replacing vbelts every two months depending on equipment run time.

Proper v-belt installation is important when it comes to getting maximum life & efficiency from your v-belts. Take time to insure that your v-belt pulleys are properly lined up with a strait edge & that they are not worn & cutting in to the v-belts. Proper v-belt tension ought to be set with a v-belt tension tool & reset again after the first week or so of operation to permit for v-belts that stretch, & all v-belts will stretch. Most of the stretching takes place in first hours of operation so it is important to re check belt tension after the belt has had some run time.
