Abstract
A V belt for high load transmitting having at least one endless load carrier and a plurality of blocks engaged with the load carrier in the lengthwise direction of belt. The center of gravity of the block is situated near the tensile members of the load carrier. The block, in the straight running state, is so supported that it is substantially perpendicular to the load carrier. Also, the block has the surface of arcuate shape in cross section at least at a part of its side surface.
Claims6
A V belt for high load transmitting comprising:
- a plurality of blocks;
- and endless load carriers, wherein said blocks are engaged with said endless load carriers having tensile members in a lengthwise direction along said belt, and wherein at least a part of a cross-section of a side surface of each block is substantially formed in an arcuate shape, wherein the center of gravity of said blocks is substantially close to said tensile members of said load carriers, and said blocks in substantially perpendicular state in relation to the load carriers in a straight running state.
