Browning “358” Gripbelt Drives combine the improved performance
characteristics of today’s higher quality synthetic materials with a
more compact cross-section to provide an efficient mode of power
transmission. Because of the significantly higher capacity of these
belts, drives are designed with shorter center distances and smaller
sheaves. Overall drive dimensions are reduced by as much as
40%; weight savings of up to 25% are achievable. All material
savings are reflected in the lower cost of the drives.
Browning “358” Gripbelt Drives are furnished in only three
cross-sections to cover the entire range of drive requirements.
This results in a substantial reduction of both belt and sheave
inventories.
The belt cross-section approaches a true “V” as shown. The groove
walls of the sheaves provide more equalized support to the tension
members since there is more side wall contact area. These
factors, plus the tougher, more resilient belt materials, provide
V-belts with exceptional transmission capacity.
1. The “3V” belt measures 3/8” across the top and 5/16” in
thickness and is available in lengths from 25” through 140”.
2. The “5V” belt measures 5/8” across the top and 17/32” in
thickness and is available in lengths from 45” through 355”.
3. The “8V” belt measures 1” across the top and 7/8” in thickness
and is available in lengths from 100” to 500”.
