Step 2
What Type of Multiple V-Belt Are You Looking for?

Classic sheathed belt, e.g. SPB/5V...
... or raw-edge cogged V-belt, e.g. XPB/5VX.

Step 3
What Is the Multiple Belt Width – respectively, What Is the Multiple Belt Profile?

The same procedure applies to both sheathed and cogged V-belts.
Measure the belt profile, i.e. the width...
... and thickness. Accordingly, determine the profile.
Measure the entire belt width in mm.
Calculate the number of ribs and measure their pitch.

In the profile table, you can find the appropriate type.

Step 4
What Is the Multiple Belt Length?

Measure the length of the belt, e.g. encircle the outer surface with string.
Then measure the string in metres.

Multiple Belt Lengths

  • Li – inner length measured by the inside surface
  • La – outer length measured by the outside surface
  • Ld – working length
