V-belt drives /VBD

V-belt drives are usually employed where an equalization of the overall gear ratio is necessary or where physical peripheral conditions require a specific motor arrangement.

The standard delivery comprises motor scoop, belt pulleys, V-belt, and V-belt guard. The drive can optionally also be supplied as a completely mounted unit with motor.

The following figure shows the basic structure of a gear unit with V-belt drive.

Observe the following information.

  • Standard V-belt drives cannot be combined with a mounting flange or fan as these options conflict with each other in terms of design.
  • For the dimensions of the V-belt drives, refer to chapter V-belt drive /VBD. For further values, contact SEW-EURODRIVE.
