• ECODRIVE V-Belts are new generation V-Belts that combine excellent performance parameters with economy of investment.
• ECODRIVE V-Belts incorporate special Polyester Cords and Polychloroprene rubber Jackets for better power and performance.
• ECODRIVE V-Belts are pre-matched and precision built to make them CODE FREE Result: Uniform Power transmission and drastic reduction in inventory costs.
• ECODRIVE V-Belts operate within narrow limits of elongation Thus, slippage due to stretching is controlled resulting in better grip and longer life.
• The use of compounds specially developed in our own laboratories for manufacturing these V-Belts provides a product which withstands continuous running without internal friction or generation of heat.
• ECODRIVE V-Belts are sealed against moisture and manufactured from rubber which is compounded to withstand the tropical heat It is also oil resistant and anti-static. They have proved their durability under the most exacting climatic conditions over many years of service.

Correct Operation of V-Belts Drives:-

Faults In V-Belts And Their Correction

• Abrasion :- Metal particles, sawdust and grit are the usual causes. Stop entry of these foreign materials by covering the top and/or one side of the drive. But where guards are necessary it is desirable to use the wire screen type rather than airtight covers so as to permit free circulation of air.

• Small Cracks On V-Belt Side And Base :- Generally caused by heat and chemical fumes Reverse bending of belts can lead to cracking of belts and must be avoided at all times.

• Excessive Stretch :- Usually due to overloading or internal brakes which are easily caused, but not noticed, when V-Belts are forced over tops of grooves Check if extra load may have been added subsequent to the drive design and installation.

• Loss In Driven Speed :-  Often due to slippage resulting from insufficient tensioning Check by tachometer readings against calculated speeds and remedy by adjusting tension Slippage will result from the use of belt dressing which should never be employed on V-Belts. Any application is bound to be unevenly spread with the result that one or more V-Belts will tend to carry the full load.

• V-Belt Swelling Or Softening :- Caused by oil, cutting fluids or rubber solvent. Remove cause if possible. Or use belts having Jacket Fabric impregnated with Polychloroprene or other synthetic rubbers possessing oil resistant properties (ECO DRIVE V-Belts have this property).

• Mixing Of V-Belts :- V-Belts of different brands or types must not be mixed; the slightest difference in cross-section and internal design will seriously affect running life. New and used V-Belts should not be run together in the same set for similar reasons. When making replacements, always fit all new or all used V-Belts in the same set.

• Inability To Transmit Load :- This may be the result of the pulley grooves being cut unevenly, or at an incorrect angle. Check each single groove with a template to ensure all V-Belts are running on the same pitch diameter. Have the drive design checked to see that the drive has sufficient capacity for the load.

• Whipping During Running :- Usually caused by incorrect tensioning, principally on long centre drives. Try a slightly higher (or lower) tension. In reciprocating drives this could be critical and must be avoided and should be taken care of during the drive design stage itself.
