High capacity Wedge V-belts are designed to meet
Across all industries, power transmission
demands high standards of safety, quality
and cost efficiency. A leader in industrial
products since the early part of the last
century, and with over 70 years' experience
in the manufacture of V-belts, Dunlop
Belting Products offers the industry a
comprehensive range meeting today's
stringent requirements.
In conjunction with its central technology
and research facilities, Dunlop Belting
Products has developed a number of
manufacturing sources, strategically located
throughout the world. Supplies can be
drawn from whichever of its sources offers
the most economical situation whilst
ensuring that the quality meets the highest
international standard necessary to carry
the DUNLOP brand.
Dunlop V-belts are constructed from tough,
long-lasting synthetic rubber, reinforced
with low elongation polyester cords.
Specially designed synthetic rubber
compounds give heat and oil resistance
which ensures that the belts will perform
day after day in a wide range of ambient
temperatures.
Use of the highest quality raw materials,
and manufacture under rigorous quality
control, ensure that Dunlop V-belts meet
internationally accepted standards and cross
sections. The company's quality systems are
accredited to ISO 9001.
Approval of its manufacturing facilities by the
American Petroleum Institute allows Dunlop
V-belts to carry the API monogram for use in the
oil industry.
Raw Edge Cogged
BS3790, DIN7753 and RMA (IP22) specifications,
offering possibilities for more compact drive designs.
Incorporating polyester cords for low elongation and
high tensile strength, they are heat and oil resistant
and antistatic. Wedge raw edge cogged V-belts are
available in American sections 3VX and 5VX, and
European sections SPZX, SPAX, SPBX and SPCX.
Wedge wrapped belts are available in American
sections 3V, 5V and 8V, and in European metric types
SPZ, SPA, SPB, SPC, and section 19.
