What is the difference between V-belt and multi wedge V-belt？

From the outside, it looks like a belt，but there are differences in its function and application. When selecting a belt for a machine, it is necessary to choose the appropriate one to ensure the service life of the belt and the machine. What is the difference between V-belt and multi wedge V-belt?This article will provide a detailed introduction.

What is a V-belt

V-belt, also known as rubber V-belt, is a general term for trapezoidal circular transmission belts with cross sections, providing economical and effective power transmission. It is a unique conveyor belt and a mechanical device used for transmitting force and transporting goods. Its advantages include easy installation, small footprint, high transmission efficiency, and low noise.

What is a multi wedge belt

The multi wedge v belt, known as the composite triangular belt, is a new type of transmission belt, which is an annular belt with a number of longitudinal triangular wedges attached to the base of the flat belt. The wedge surface is the working surface. It is widely used and plays a significant role in industry and auto parts.

What is the difference between V-belt and multi wedge V-belt

1. Different shapes. The V-belt shape is a V-shaped belt with a tapered side and a wedge shaped belt.

2. Different bearing capacities. Wedge belts are leading in load carrying capacity due to their ability to transmit more power than V-belts of the same width. Making wedge shaped belts more suitable for industrial applications with higher load carrying requirements or limited drive space.

3. Low cost and high efficiency. In applications where load requirements are light or there is drive space to use multiple belts, V-belts are typically selected. Due to the relatively low cost and high efficiency of V-belts.

Wedge Belt Applications

Wedge belts are commonly used in industry, as they bear heavy loads due to their ability to transmit high levels of power. But they also perform well in lighter applications.

The biggest advantage of wedge shaped belts is that they can save space. Compared to their compact shape, they have a high load carrying capacity, making them a popular choice for a wide range of industrial applications.
