A v-belt is a transmission belt made of rubber polymer with a trapezoidal cross-section. These belts install around multiple groove pulleys for higher torque transmissions. Simply measure from the 1" mark across the top of the belt. Common widths range from ½" to as wide as 1½" to indicate whether you need anything from an A belt all the way up to an E belt. Measuring the V-Belt Length. There are a few different ways you can measure the length of a V-belt. This International Standard defines terms relating to V-belt drives, V-belts, hexagonal belts, joined V-belts and the corresponding V-grooved pulleys, V-ribbed belt drives, V-ribbed belts and V-ribbed pulleys, as well as the corresponding symbols.

There are three common V belt types: Classical v-belt classified by their dimensions from A to E; narrow V series organized by their dimensions 3V, 5V, and 8V; FHP light-duty v-belts classified by their sizes 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L. The letter X classifies their counterpart cogged belt. For example, the Classical V cog belt will be 3VX, 5VX, etc. There are several industry standards for the types and sizes of v-belts. Each type features the basic trapezoidal shape but has different dimensions. Standard v-belt. Standard v-belts are common in power transmission applications. These v-belts come in various types, as shown in Table 1. Each type varies from one another with respect to its .
