Transmission Belt-V (V-Belt)

V. belt made of rubber with trapezium cross-section, in which there is a kind of woven tetoronatau core part to provide great tensile strength. The trapezium shape memberikangaya great friction, increasing again at the time of bending the belt wrapped around the pulleys.

Considerable distance that separates the two shafts lead to not allow use direct transmission with gears. Belt-V is a solution that can be used. Belt-V is one of the transmission link is made of rubber and has a trapezoidal cross-section.

In use V-belts wrapped around the pulley V-shaped groove as well. Part of the belt that wraps the pulley will experience a wide arch so that the inside will increase. V-belts are widely used because V-belts are very easy in penangananya and cheap price. Besides belt-V also has another forte where belt-V will menghasilhan large power transmission at relatively low voltage as well as when compared with the transmission gears and chains, V-belts work more smooth and noiseless.

V-belts in addition also has a forte in comparison with other transmissions, belt-V also has a weakness where the V-belts can allow for the occurrence of slip. Therefore, the V-belts planning needs to be done to take into account the type of belt used and the length of the belt to be used.
