A cogged wedge belt is a type of V-belt designed that combines the wedge-shaped cross-section of a standard wedge belt with a cogged (notched) design on its inner side.

It’s a perfect solution when space, weight, and power are critical considerations. Their increased power capacity allows for fewer belts, potentially leading to significant cost savings. Suitable for a vast array of industrial applications.

Features

Wedge Profile:

  • The trapezoidal (wedge-shaped) design enhances the grip between the belt and the pulley.
  • Provides greater power transmission compared to classical V-belts.

Cogged Design:

  • Notches on the inner surface reduce bending resistance, improving flexibility.
  • Allows the belt to operate efficiently on smaller pulley diameters.

High-Strength Materials:

  • Typically constructed with rubber or synthetic compounds and reinforced with tensile cords for durability and reduced elongation.
