V BELTS

Browning belts are specifically designed to provide maximum horsepower transmission and service life. One of the key features of the product series is EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer). This works to expand temperature range considerably. These Browning belts operating temperatures for EPDM v-belts are -60 DegreeF to +250 DegreeF. This expanded range helps ensures long life and reliable performance. They can be counted on even in the most demanding climates and heat sensitive applications. The fabric top and bottom design ensure stability and less cord stress, helping to maximize service life.

A V belt, also known as a V-belt or a wedge belt, is a type of power transmission belt used in industrial machinery and automobiles. It has a trapezoidal cross-section and is designed to fit into a V-shaped groove on a pulley. The "V" in V belt stands for the shape of the cross-section of the belt, which is trapezoidal or wedge-shaped. The V shape of the belt allows it to fit securely into the V-shaped groove on the pulley, providing better traction and preventing slippage. The V shape also helps to distribute the load evenly across the belt and pulley, reducing wear and tear on both components.

The V belt is made of a flexible material, such as rubber or synthetic polymer, with high tensile strength and resistance to abrasion, heat, and oil. Its V-shaped design provides more surface area for contact between the belt and the pulley, allowing for greater power transmission and higher efficiency compared to a flat belt.

V belts are commonly used in various applications, including power transmission, HVAC systems, agriculture, and construction equipment. They come in a range of sizes and designs to suit different needs, and can be easily replaced when worn or damaged.
