Hexangular belts are a special type of industrial belt whose cross-section resembles a symmetrical hexagon, unlike standard V-Belts — meaning they can transmit power from both sides.
What Is a Hexangular Belt and How Does It Differ from a V-Belt?
In a standard V-Belt, only the grooved face contacts the pulley. A hexangular belt is essentially two V-Belts joined together, allowing power transmission from either side to two different shafts.
Main Applications
- Systems with multiple parallel shafts requiring two-way power transmission
- Agricultural machinery with complex pulley layouts
- Equipment with limited space for installing several separate belts
Common Series
Standard hexangular belt series include AA, BB, and CC, each with a specific top width and groove angle. For accurate selection, measure the top width, height, and inside length (Li) of your old belt.
Benefits of SRB Hexangular Belts
SRB hexangular belts use rubber resistant to two-sided wear, meaning both active faces of the belt share the same quality and durability — not just one side.
