DetailThe ribbed belt combines the high flexibility of flat belts with the high performance of V-belts. The V-shaped parallel ribs are made from a wear-resistant rubber compound. The high strength tension cord is designed for the many applications of the ribbed belt.
It is embedded in a rubber adhesive mixture and covers the entire width of the ribbed belt. Fibre reinforced, wearresistant rubber compounds ensure quiet operation, oil and heat resistance and a long belt life.
The small minimum pulley diameters permit drives with high speed ratios as well as small drive volume requirements. Ribbed belts are well suited for use with back bend idlers, e.g. in serpentine drives.
AdvantagesAdvantages
Very good dynamic power transmission capability
Good coefficient of friction and high performance
Low vibration and noise
Withstands shock loads and short-term overload
High belt speeds possible
Can be used with back bend idlers, e.g. in serpentine drives
