Introducing V-belts
Megadyne V-belts have been used for decades in most different industries and applications, offering drive solutions to customers all over the world. Applied technology guarantees dimensional precision in V-belts allowing them to be suitable for multiple transmissions.
This dimensional stability continues also during belt use. The variety of belt sizes available allows the application of Megadyne V-belts on a wide range of drive applications, such as:
- Machine tools
- Industrial washing machines
- Textile machines
- Continuous paper machines
- High-power mills
- Stone crushers
The main V-belt components are:
- Belt body made of a special rubber compound which provides, thanks to its excellent mechanical characteristics, high-transmission efficiency and assures a minimum rubber wear off;
- Tensile member consisting of high-strength and low-stretch cords, which grant length stability over the belt lifetime;
- Fabric jacket or cover made of fabric, protecting the tensile member and permitting the use of a backside idler. Our wide range of products with different power rates and several structures allows Megadyne to always find the best solution for a very wide spectrum of applications.
