Classical V-belts remain the most widely used power transmission belts. They are proven to offer dependable service with minimum maintenance in a variety of medium and heavy duty industrial drives. Classic v-belts are just that, classic in design and application.
The classic v-belt is the most tried and true style of v-belt in the market. Originally designed to replace leather belts in a variety of industries including agriculture, textile industry automotive, facility maintenance etc. Also known as light duty v-belts, they are designed with a 40° angle to "wedge" the belt into the groove of the pulley. The greater the load, the greater the wedging action. The manufacturing process combines a rubber compound with a polyester cord to increase strength and stability.
