Reasons And Precautions for Heating of Rubber Belts

The reasons for the heating of the rubber belt are usually as follows:

Friction generated heat: The V-belt comes into contact with components such as the wheel hub and bearings during operation, generating heat due to friction.

Over tensioning: If the V-belt is over tensioned, it will increase friction with the wheel hub, leading to heating.

Service life: After prolonged use, the rubber material of the V-belt may age, leading to increased friction and heat generation.

Poor alignment: If the components in the transmission system are not aligned properly, it can cause additional stress on the V-belt during operation, increasing friction and heat generation.

To avoid excessive heating of the V-belt, the following precautions can be taken:

Proper tensioning: Ensure that the tension of the V-belt is moderate and not overly tensioned.

Regular inspection: Regularly check the working status of the V-belt and transmission system, including alignment, tension, etc.

Timely replacement: When the V-belt is found to be aged or damaged, it should be replaced in a timely manner to avoid affecting transmission efficiency and reducing heat generation.

Maintain cleanliness: Regularly clean the transmission system to ensure the surface of the V-belt and related components is clean and reduce friction.

Reasonable design: When designing the transmission system, choose the specifications and installation position of the V-belt reasonably to avoid unnecessary friction and heating.

Through the above measures, the heating problem of the V-belt can be effectively reduced, its service life can be extended, and the normal operation of the transmission system can be ensured.
