Rubber Wide - Angle Belt

Rubber wide angle belt, also known as V-belt or V-belt, is a type of tape with a trapezoidal cross-section used to transmit mechanical power, especially on wheels with grooves.
Is rubber wide angle belt suitable for power transmission with small center distance?
Rubber wide angle belts are usually suitable for power transmission with small center distances. Due to its softness and elasticity, rubber belts can transmit power over relatively short distances and can adapt to certain degree of angle changes. This makes them very useful in applications that require power transmission in relatively compact spaces, such as transmission systems in certain mechanical equipment or industrial machinery.
Rubber wide angle belts can usually be operated on relatively small spokes and can withstand a certain degree of bending and twisting. However, when selecting a belt, it is still necessary to consider factors such as power and torque transmission to ensure that the selected belt can meet the requirements of practical applications.

Can the dust on the surface of the rubber wide-angle belt be brushed with a brush?
It is possible to gently brush the dust on the surface of the rubber wide-angle belt with a brush, but careful operation is necessary to avoid damaging the surface of the belt or causing additional wear. It is recommended to choose a soft bristled brush or brush, and avoid using hard or irritating brushes to prevent scratches or damage to the rubber surface.
When brushing, pay attention to the appropriate force and avoid excessive force, especially for aging or severely worn straps. Gently brush along the surface of the strap to remove dust and dirt from the surface. Additionally, you can choose to lightly apply some cleaning agent or water during brushing to help remove stubborn stains, but make sure that the cleaning agent is harmless to the rubber.
After cleaning, rinse the surface of the strap with clean water and ensure that the strap is completely dry before resuming normal use.

What would happen if the rubber wide-angle belt is not aligned during installation?
If the rubber wide-angle belt is installed incorrectly, it can cause abnormal operation of the transmission system and a series of problems, some of which include:
Belt offset and swing: Misalignment can cause the rubber wide-angle belt to offset and swing during operation, which may cause friction between the belt and the spokes or other transmission components, increase friction loss, and accelerate belt wear.
Noise and vibration: Misalignment can cause imbalance in the transmission system, resulting in unnecessary noise and vibration. This not only affects the operational efficiency of the equipment, but may also cause damage to other mechanical components.
Belt wear: Misalignment can cause uneven tension and stress on the rubber wide angle belt, leading to increased surface wear of the belt and shortening its service life.
Reduced transmission efficiency: Due to misalignment, it increases the slip and friction between the belt and the spoke, resulting in a decrease in transmission efficiency, energy loss, and additional power consumption.
Equipment failure and shutdown: Long term operation in an misaligned state may cause excessive wear and damage to other components of the transmission system, ultimately leading to equipment failure and shutdown, affecting the production process.
Therefore, it is very important to ensure alignment when installing the rubber wide-angle belt, which can be achieved by adjusting the alignment device of the transmission system appropriately. Centering can ensure the stability of the belt during operation, reduce wear and energy loss, extend the service life of the transmission system, and improve operational efficiency.
