Power transmission of the belt type which includes a transmission casing made up of a case and a cover. A drive shaft and a driven shaft each extend into the case. A drive pulley is mounted on the drive shaft and a driven pulley is mounted on the driven shaft. A belt extends over both the drive pulley and the driven pulley. A fan is mounted on at least one of the shafts. A partition plate extends the length of the casing dividing the casing into a case side compartment and a cover side compartment. The belt and the fan are positioned in the cover side compartment. The fan can be formed on an outer side of one of the pulleys including radially outwardly extending fins and side fins extending axially integrally from the radial fins. Air passages are formed between any two fins and between each side fin and the outer side of the pulley. All of the side fins together can form an annular disc.
An improvement in a power transmission of the belt type having a transmission casing which includes a case and a cover, a drive shaft extending into said case, a drive pulley on said drive shaft, a driven shaft extending into said case, a driven pulley on said driven shaft, a belt extending over both said drive pulley and said driven pulley, and fan means on at least one of said shafts, the improvement comprising a partition plate extending the length of said casing dividing said casing into a case side compartment and a cover side compartment and wherein said belt and said fan means are positioned in said cover side compartment.
