Toothed V-belt—also known as a notched V-belt or cogged V-belt—is a V-belt that has notches (teeth) cut into its inner side to improve flexibility and heat dissipation.
DESCRIPTION
?️ English Terms:
Toothed V-belt
Cogged V-belt
Notched V-belt
All three terms are commonly used and interchangeable depending on region or manufacturer.
? Key Features:
Improved Flexibility
The notches allow the belt to bend more easily around small pulleys, reducing internal stress.
Better Heat Dissipation
The cutaway sections help release heat, extending belt life.
Higher Efficiency
Reduced slippage and lower energy loss compared to standard (smooth) V-belts.
Same Pulley Compatibility
Can be used with standard V-belt pulleys (sheaves).
⚙️ Typical Applications:
HVAC systems
Automotive engines
Machine tools
Agricultural and industrial machinery
