V-Belts Categories

Belts are common mechanical parts that are popular among many industries. There are various types of belts for you to choose. And some of them can also be further divided into many types such as the V-belt. The V- belt is the basic power-transmission belt, providing the best combination of traction, operating speed, bearing load, and service life.

The wedging action of the V-belt in the pulley groove allows them to transmit higher torque at less width and tension than flat belts. Typically, the V-belt is endless. When compared to the flat belt, it is far more superior at small center distances and high reduction ratios.

As mentioned above, the V-belt can be further divided into many other types such as the open-ended V-belt, ribbed V-belts, variable speed V-belts, Cogged V-belts, Wedge V Belts and double-sided V-belts, Steigentech manufacture all of these and also special application belts such as their Turf Drive belt range for both domestic and professional Lawn & Garden machinery.

Steigentech Variable speed V-belts that are banded together to achieve different speeds, strength and transmission capabilities and are recommended for multi-sheave drives.

Steigentech Cogged V-belts can either be a conventional or narrow raw edge Cogged V-belt. The former one is designed for high-tension drives, while the latter one can be applied for all drives.

Steigentech also manufacture a range of hexagonal belts which has two Vs with one on each side. Its special shape enables it to be applied in serpentine reverse bend drives where a transmission may need to drive in reverse to generate power.
