Hexagonal Belts

Hexagonal Belts

CONSTRUCTION:

  • Hexagonal V-belts also known as Double V-belts.
  • They can be in simple terms considered as two v- belts joined back to back.
  • The neutral axis containing the tension cord is exactly half way up the section.
  • The polyester tension cord placed at the center of this belt provides extreme flexibility & low stretch properties. It is because of this positioning of the cord the same is not subjected to any other forces as in the case of normal V- Belts.

APPLICATION:

  • Hexagonal belts find applications in drives where several pulleys in the same plane are to be driven in the clockwise & anti-clockwise direction simultaneously.
  • Double V-Belts normally finds its application in agricultural machinery, textile machinery & rice mills.
