V-belt drives

We are focused mainly on the design of new drives or the optimisation of the existing V-belt drives. We respond to the customers’ requirements for an extended lifetime, reduced dimensions, reduced noise level, and operating or purchase cost cutting. We often help to manage situations with problematic drives (heavy duty operation, high performance or rates, belt vibrations, etc.). Calculation software Design Flex^® Pro^TM is used for designing the drives; we are ready to install this software for free upon request, or you can download it by clicking here.

 

The V-belt drives are covered by a wide range of V-belts manufactured by GATES, which is a world-leading company in this industry, characterised by the continuous innovation of the belts.

 

V-belt pulleys are supplied to accommodate the TaperLock® clamping bush or as a semi-finished product with a pre-drilled bore or a solid hub. Belt pulleys are made of grey cast iron, or optionally (upon request) of aluminium.

 

Belt tensioners or clamping bushes are frequent parts of the V-belt drive; they are used to clamp the V-belt pulley to the shaft.
