What is a V-Pulley System?
V-belt pulleys also called V Pulley are devices that employ a v-belt, a mechanical connection having a trapezoidal cross-section, to convey power between axles. These components work together to provide a slipping- and misalignment-resistant high-speed power transmission system.
The primary purpose of V-belt pulleys is to transmit power between two parallel axels. The shape of the groove or grooves situated around the circle of the pulley, which guides and acquires traction on a v-belt, is the most obvious difference between a v-belt pulley and other types of pulleys.. The accompanying video provides an in-depth look at the basics of v-belts, as well as their benefits and variants.
A V Pulley is a special mechanical connection having an isosceles trapezoid-shaped cross-section. The v-belt and its companion pulley form the world's most efficient belt drive (sometimes achieving 98 percent transmission efficiency). V-belts were invented to enhance belt durability and torque transfer from the crankshaft to rotating components in the early days of vehicle development. V-belts are still a popular serpentine belt today.
The following are some of the most popular uses for V belt pulleys:
. Lathes
. Milling machines for light work
. Drills
. Powerful instruments
