Material and Characteristics of Narrow V-Belts
Narrow V-Belts are widely used in industrial and agricultural machinery that operates under high load and high-speed conditions. The choice of material directly affects the equipment’s operational efficiency and belt lifespan.
1. Application Scenarios
Narrow V-belts are commonly used in:
• Agricultural Machinery – Such as combine harvesters and seeders, which require high torque.
• Industrial Equipment – Compressors, fans, and pumps that demand long-term stable operation.
• Automobiles and Heavy Vehicles – Suitable for engine transmission systems, requiring heat and wear resistance.
2. Common Materials and Characteristics
• EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
• Characteristics: Heat-resistant, anti-aging, and ozone-resistant, ideal for outdoor and high-temperature environments.
• Application: Used in agricultural and industrial equipment to prevent rubber aging and extend service life.
• Chloroprene Rubber (CR)
• Characteristics: Oil-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and wear-resistant.
• Application: Suitable for pumps and automotive equipment, performing well in oily and chemical environments.
• Polyurethane (PU)
• Characteristics: Highly wear-resistant, tear-resistant, and strong tensile strength.
• Application: Precision machinery and high-load equipment, ensuring long-term stable operation.
3. Reinforcement Layer Materials
• Polyester Cord – Enhances tensile strength and prevents belt elongation and deformation.
• Aramid Fiber – Heat-resistant and load-bearing, suitable for heavy-duty equipment.
4. Importance
Choosing the right material enhances equipment efficiency, reduces downtime and maintenance costs, and ensures stable belt performance under complex conditions, extending its lifespan.
