V Ribbed Belt identification
avagolen - 15/11/11 at 06:25 PM

Hi everyone.

Can anyone remove my ignorance by telling me what defines the number of ribbs in multi ribbed belt.

Is it the Peaks or the Troughs?

Thanks in anticipation.

Len.

Its the peaks - or ribs - that count (a six ribbed belt goes on a six grooved pulley)

Thanks Claire,

Simple really, but murphy's law meant unless I asked, I would have got it wrong.

The size is often, PK= followed by the number and then PK
PK=peaks
