Sharing is Caring

1. Classical V Belts: . The first of the V belts to enter in  power transmission.  . Maximum permissible speed = 30m/s . In   application where reverse idlers are not used , classical V belts are more   advanta geous other       than because of smaller heights. 2. Wedge V  Belts:  . Wedge belts can transmit higher power 1.5-2 times than of classical belts with the same top width. . Maximum permissible belt speed = 42m/s . Wedge belt is primarily used in new drives to achieve space saving. . Extensive use in industrial application from light duty application to heavy duty application. 3. Narrow V Belts:  . Constructionally & properties wise Wedge V belts & Narrow V belts are same, the only difference additional ridge top provided in Narrow belts. . Maximum permissible speed = 42m/s 4. Hexagonal V Belts: . Hexagonal V belts are also called double V belts. . Hexagonal belts are used where several pulleys in the same plane driven clo
