How to choose a trapezoidal belt
There are many types of belts for power transmission: flat, round, poly-v, trapezoidal, grooved, toothed, and synchronous...
Belts can be used in various sectors and fields, such as in industrial automation, for general power transmission, in ventilation systems and compressors, for the transmission of high powers, and also for high rotational speeds.
The choice of a belt should be made based on the use and situation in which it is to be employed; in this brief guide, we will focus on how to choose a trapezoidal belt.
In fact, trapezoidal belts are the most commonly used for power transmission, offering the best compromise between traction, speed, tension on supports, and durability, while simultaneously solving the alignment problem.
A series of questions and answers will help you identify your trapezoidal belt in case some parts are worn or it is not immediately recognizable, or for any other reason.
