What is the marking on V-belts?
Standard specifications indicated on V-belts
- Featured on classic V-belts are markings, i.e. profile and number, which stands for the inner length, given in inches. This is followed by a number representing millimetres, Li, which stands for the inner length.
- Marked on narrow belts are the profile and length in millimetres, Lw, which stands for the working length.
- Featured on V-belts for automobiles are the profile and length, La, which stands for the outer length.
How can I replace individual types of V-belts?
The most accurate replacement of individual belts is achieved by recalculating Lw or Ld. Individual belts, which indicate a different length, are recalculated via the effective length, Le, and in this way a suitable replacement is found in another type of belt.
