Over-tensioning shortens not only the life of V-belts but also that of the sheaves, electric motor, and driven equipment bearings. In extreme cases, it can even bend or break a motor shaft.

V-belt drive misalignment exists when the driver and driven sheaves are not properly aligned. Misalignment can take either the form of angular or parallel (offset) misalignment, or a combination of ...

Premium V-belt drives have high power density and stretch dramatically less than standard cross sections, making them suited for use on problem drives requiring high-impact strength and load-carrying ...

When you consider the durability of serpentine belt drive systems it makes you wonder how we ever got along without them. For decades we dealt with all of the frustrations of V-belt drive, belt ...

Not everything on a modern muscle car is better just because it’s a newer design, but one innovation certainly is better, and that’s serpentine accessory drive systems. Why? Well, the old V-belt setup ...

Serpentine drive belt systems have been standard equipment on new vehicles for quite some time. Much more efficient than multiple V-belt drives due to reduced friction, a single, flat drive belt also ...

Premium V-belt drives with high power density stretch significantly less than standard cross sections, suitable for use on problematic drives requiring high-impact strength and load-carrying power.
