INTRODUCTION TO V-BELTS Megadyne V-belts have been used for decades in the 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...

INTRODUCTION TO V-BELTS WRAPPED V-BELTS EXTRA Extra belts were designed to offer durable and reliable performances on light and medium-duty drives. They represent an affordable solution for transmission systems of all industrial sectors. OLEOSTATIC Oleostatic rubber belts are developed with high-resistant tensile elements, they are characterised by high performance, length stability during the life of the belts, conductivity, oil, and heat resistance. They are particularly suitable for centrifugal pumps, compressors, tool machines, generators, high-power mills, and stone mills. OLEOSTATIC...

INTRODUCTION TO V-BELTS RAW EDGE V-BELTS LINEA X These belts have been specifically developed to run where small pulleys diameters and high-transmission ratios put a limit to the use of wrapped belts of the same section. Compared to wrapped belts, the Linea X family offers important improvements, like specific compounds and special production technology. In particular, the transverse orientation of the fibers improves the cord’s support capacity of the body section and reinforces its transverse rigidity, while maintaining, (thanks to the cogged profile and the precision-ground sidewalls)...

TECHNICAL CALCULATION BELT SECTION Necessary data for selection of the belt section: P speed in RPM of the smaller pulley speed in RPM of the bigger pulley It is necessary to correct the power P by a coefficient Cc (see table 1 on page 6) which takes into account the actual operating conditions. Corrected power Pc is given by: Pc = P • Cc The graphs give a guiding criterion for the section of the belt. TRANSMISSION RATIO Transmission ratio is calculated as follows: i= where D is the pitch diameter of the larger pulley and d is the pitch diameter of the smaller pulley. The peripheral speed...

TECHNICAL CALCULATION PITCH LENGTH OF THE BELT AND CORRECT CENTER DISTANCE Whenever the shaft center distance I is not predetermined by the layout of the drive, the optimum distance may be chosen as follows: 13 The pitch length is determined by: L’~– =2 • I+1,57 • (D+d)+ From the list of belt sizes, should be selected the belt pitch length L p nearest to the value of L’ above calculated. Since L’ ≠ L p the center distance “I” may be varied by subtracting half L’ - Lp. Therefore, the effective center distance of the drive will be: Ie = I - NUMBER OF BELTS The basic performance P b is the...

TECHNICAL CALCULATION Table 2 (bottom of this page) and 3 (see belt family pages) give values of the coefficients C γ and C L taking into account the operating conditions. The arc of contact g of the belt on the smaller pulley is determined by: γ = 180° - 57 The number of belts Q necessary for the transmission of the power P c is determined by: Q= The number of belts is actually obtained in general by rounding up Q to the next highest whole number.
