VTP - High Speed V-Belt Pulleys
VTP high-speed V-belt pulleys in SPZ, SPA, SPB and SPC profiles are a special type of V-belt pulleys. They are made of cast steel GGG 50 and compared to conventional pulleys made of gray cast iron, they have significantly better properties: higher strength and resistance, lower weight and higher peripheral speed.
The pulleys are mounted to the shafts using Taper Lock cone bushings.
Typical Applications
The VTP® V-belt pulleys are designed for the highest peripheral speeds in all areas of engineering, especially for applications with high temperature, alternating and impact load, and wherever the conventional cast iron V-belt pulleys cannot be used.
They are typically used in compressors, blowers, machine tools, in the paper and chemical industry and in many other machines.
Properties
- Up to 50% lower weight
- Increased peripheral speed up to 60 m/s (theoretically up to 100 m/s)
- Lower moments of innertia
- Longer V-belt life-span
- Made of cast iron quality GGG 50 of higher strenght
- New CDP (KTL) coating improves rust protection
- Decreased temperature of the belts - up to 17 °C
Materials
Cast iron GGG60.
Key Features
Decreased temperature of the belts up to 17 °C
A study demonstrates reduction of temperature of belts in VTP® pulleys up to 10 to 17 °C against standard pulleys. The pulleys have a perforated bottom groove and the heat is drained off the belt better during operation. Punching does not affect the pulley strength.
The tests show that the belts after 2 hours of operation of the VTP® SPB250-4 pulley have a temperature more than 10 °C lower that the standard SPB250-4 pulley.
