At Cookies, we offer top-notch industrial V-belts engineered to cater to diverse applications. These V-belts are fundamental to numerous systems, altering speeds and transmitting the torque that powers machinery from electric motors or other drives to the equipment in operation. Proper alignment of these V-belts is paramount to maximize the lifespan of the belt-driven system, thereby ensuring safety and operational efficiency. With our vast experience and proficiency, Cookies is dedicated to delivering the most suitable V-belt solutions tailored to your specific requirements.
What is V Belts
V-belts are a particular type of drive belt, characterized by a V-shaped cross-section, which fits into a corresponding V-shaped groove in the pulleys. This design allows the belt to transmit power effectively from the motor to the driven machinery, making V-belts an integral part of many industrial and automotive applications.
Unlike timing belts, V-belts rely on friction between the belt and pulley to transmit power, which can lead to some slippage under heavy loads or high speeds. However, this slippage can also act as a safety mechanism, preventing damage in case of overload. V-belts are made to be highly resistant to wear, heat, and oil, ensuring durability and long service life. Their flexibility allows for use around pulleys with smaller diameters, and they can be easily adjusted for precise tensioning.
Benefits of V Belts
V belts offer numerous benefits, including:
Efficiency: V-Belts can operate at 95-98% efficiency during their lifespan.
Long Life: With proper maintenance, V-Belts can have a significantly long lifespan.
Low Maintenance: V-Belts require less re-tensioning and maintenance compared to other types of belts.
High Load Capacity: They can handle a wide range of load capacities and speed ratios.
Versatility: V-Belts are versatile and can be used in a variety of industrial applications.
Compactness and Light Weight: Due to their design, V-Belts are compact and light, making them suitable for applications where space and weight are critical considerations.
Silent Operation: V-Belts tend to operate quietly, reducing noise in the workplace.
Tolerant to Misalignment: V-Belts are more tolerant to misalignment compared to other types of belts. They can tolerate a certain degree of misalignment without affecting their performance.
Heat Dissipation: The design of V-Belts allows for excellent heat dissipation, which contributes to their efficiency and durability.
Types of V Belts
V-belts are critical components in power transmission systems, available in a variety of types to suit different applications. These include Ribbed/Wedge V-belts, Narrow V-belts, Dual V-belts, and Classical V-belts. Each has unique properties that make them suitable for specific tasks.
リブ/ウェッジ V ベルト
These belts have a series of V-shaped ribs that correspond to grooves in the pulley. They are highly flexible and provide a larger surface area for power transmission, making them ideal for compact, high-power drives. The wedging action of the ribs in the grooves increases performance and efficiency.

Narrow V-belts are slimmer than classical V-belts, allowing them to deliver high speed and high torque power transmission in a compact space. Their smaller size and increased surface area contribute to greater power efficiency, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
Learn Moreデュアル V ベルト
Dual V-belts, also known as double V-belts, are designed with a double V-profile, enabling them to transmit power on both sides of the belt. This makes them highly effective for serpentine drives or systems requiring multiple drives from a single belt. Their dual-action design increases their power transmission capacity.
Learn Moreクラシック V ベルト
The most common type of V-belt, classical V-belts have a trapezoidal cross-section and are used in a wide range of industrial applications. They are versatile and cost-effective, making them a popular choice for general power transmission tasks. However, they may not be as efficient or durable as some other types of V-belts.
Learn MoreApplications of V Belts
V-belts, known for their utility in power transmission across numerous industrial applications, are appreciated for their easy installation, cost-effectiveness, and broad range of sizes. Available in light to heavy-duty varieties, their unique shape ensures a secure fit in pulleys without any risk of side drift or belt inversion.
Playing a pivotal role in power transmission, V-belts transfer power from motors to pulleys, powering a myriad of components such as compressors, fans, water pumps, rollers, and paddles. Their utility extends to light-duty drilling machines, lathes, various manufacturing applications, and even power tools, making them an indispensable component in industrial machinery.
自動車用Vベルト
In automobiles, V belts are used extensively. They play a crucial role in the operation of alternators, power steering pumps, air conditioning compressors, and sometimes even the water pump.
HVAC Systems V Belts
In Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, V belts are used to connect the motor to the blower. They allow for adjustments in the blower speed, which can be important for maintaining the right temperature and air quality.
Agricultural Equipment V Belts
V belts are also commonly used in various types of agricultural machinery, including tractors and harvesters. They are often favored for their robustness and ability to handle tough working conditions.
