What is a smooth V-belt?

Une courroie trapézoïdale lisse est un élément de transmission de puissance utilisé dans de nombreux systèmes mécaniques. Elle est fabriquée à partir d'un caoutchouc synthétique, le polybutadiène, et présente une section transversale trapézoïdale en forme de V. Cette forme permet à la courroie d'épouser la gorge correspondante de la poulie.

A smooth V-belt is a power transmission element used in many mechanical systems. It is made from a synthetic rubber, polybutadiene, and has a V-shaped trapezoidal cross-section. This shape enables the belt to fit into the corresponding groove on the pulley.

The advantage of using a smooth V-belt is that it offers durable, low-maintenance and quiet power transmission. It is also efficient for applications requiring high efficiency. What's more, smooth V-belts are relatively easy to install. It is known for its excellent resistance to oil and heat, and requires no lubrication.

Where and when are they used?

Smooth V-belts are used in many fields and applications where power transmission is required. Here are just a few examples of where smooth V-belts are commonly used:

  • Industrial machines: they transmit power between different components such as electric motors, pumps, compressors, fans, conveyors, etc.
  • Household appliances: smooth V-belts are also used in household appliances such as washing machines, tumble dryers and lawnmowers to drive drums, blades, etc.
  • Agricultural equipment: smooth V-belts are used in agricultural equipment such as combines, tractors, balers and sprayers to transmit power to the various components.
  • Machine tools: in the manufacturing industry, smooth V-belts are used in machine tools to drive spindles, work tables, cutting tools and so on.

What are the different types of smooth V-belts?

V-belts are designed for flexibility, easy installation and maintenance. They enable efficient transmission and are suitable for many applications thanks to their wide range of sizes. Below is a non-exhaustive list of smooth V-belt sections:

How to choose a smooth V-belt?

When looking for a smooth V-belt, we always recommend using the same belt as the original. To do this, you'll need to know its reference number and/or dimensions. The part number is usually written on the belt, if it's not too damaged. If not, you'll need to determine the type of belt you need. Is it a trapezoidal belt? Is it smooth or toothed? Once you have the answers to these questions, you'll need to determine the desired cross-section (height x width), as well as its inside or outside length.
