What's The Reason for The Rubber Belt Always Getting Out of The Groove

As a type of transmission belt, V-belts are widely used in various mechanical equipment. However, the rubber belt often experiences grooving, which not only affects the normal operation of the equipment, but may also cause damage to the equipment and safety accidents. So, what is the reason why the rubber belt always goes out of the groove?

1、 Equipment installation issues

Improper installation of equipment is one of the common reasons for the rubber belt to come out of the groove. If the equipment is not installed according to the correct operating steps and requirements, such as non parallel axis, non centered or eccentric pulley, it may cause the V-belt to groove out during the transmission process.

2、 Overload and insufficient tension

If the equipment is in an overloaded state for a long time, or if the tension adjustment of the V-belt is improper, resulting in the V-belt being in a relaxed state for a long time, it will also cause the V-belt to have a groove phenomenon. In addition, if the speed difference between the transmission wheels is too large, it will also cause significant vibration and distortion of the V-belt during high-speed operation, leading to groove displacement.

3、 Insufficient maintenance and upkeep

As a vulnerable component, the V-belt requires regular maintenance and upkeep. If maintenance is not carried out for a long time, or if maintenance is improper, such as not replacing severely worn V-belts in a timely manner, it may lead to aging and hardening of the V-belts, resulting in grooving.

4、 Environmental factors

Environmental factors are also one of the reasons for the rubber belt to exit the groove. If the working environment temperature is too high or too low, or the humidity is too high, it may affect the performance and lifespan of the V-belt, thereby increasing the risk of exiting the groove.

The above are the main reasons why the rubber belt always goes out of groove. In practical use, to avoid these problems, it is necessary to strengthen the installation and debugging of equipment, adjust tension reasonably, carry out timely maintenance, and pay attention to environmental factors.
