What are different V belt sizes?

What are different V belt sizes?

It comes in three sizes (3V, 5V, and 8V). Metric.

What is cogged V belt?

Cogged belts have slots that run perpendicular to the belt’s length. The slots reduce the belt’s bending resistance. Cogged belts can be used with the same pulleys as equivalently rated V- belts. They run cooler, last longer, and have an efficiency that is about 2% higher than that of standard V-belts.

How do you determine belt size between two pulleys?

How to calculate a belt length?

1. First, determine the diameter of the larger pulley. Measure the diameter of the larger pulley.
2. Next, determine the diameter of the smaller pulley. Measure the diameter of the smaller pully.
3. Next, measure the distance between pulleys.
4. Finally, calculate the belt length.

What is the inside length of a V-belt?

The inside length of the belt is typically 2″ less for a 4L belt, and 1-1/2″ less for a 3L belt. An example would be 4L460, which would be 46″ long outside, 44″ inside. “Classic” v-belt numbers start with a letter identifying the cross section, “A” through “E” – see V-Belt Dimensions below.

How to read V-belt numbers?

How To Read V-Belt Numbers. Automotive belts start with either 4L (12.5mm wide) or 3L (9.5mm). The number following it is the outside length of the belt in tenths of inches. The inside length of the belt is typically 2″ less for a 4L belt, and 1-1/2″ less for a 3L belt. An example would be 4L460, which would be 46″ long outside, 44″ inside.

What are the different types of V-belts?

We hope our clientele find value in these v-belts cross reference guides for belts of all shapes and sizes. Below you’ll find our cross-reference conversion charts separated into three different categories, for your convenience: Snowblowers, Lawn & Garden, and V-belt Brands (Gates, Bando, Optibelt and more).

What is the size of a 5vx belt?

1/2” 5/16” 21/32” 13/32” 7/8” 17/32” 7/8” 5/8” 1” 16mm 22mm 35/64” 13mm 18mm SUPER HC™& SUPER HC XP™V-BELTS Combine cross section designation with Outside Circumference (O.C.) to the nearest whole number, plus a zero to determine Belt Part Number. Example: 5/8” top width 5VX belt with 80” O.C. equals 5VX800 V-belt.
