Micro v multi ribbed belt

There are two kinds of belts which are employed in machinery and automotive devices, i. e., micro v belts and multi-ribbed belts. They may sound alike but, however, there are some key differences between micro v and multi-ribbed belts, as both have different functions and unique performance that affect how and where they can be used to support machinery We will look at the key differences between the two and see if a v belt replacement is better than a multi-ribbed belt to drive your engine. 

V Belts- When v belts have a thinner profile, with many small v's on their surface it is considered a micro v belts. These ribs cause the belt to lay flat against the pulleys, which in turn eliminates side thrust, making the belt track straighter and be more wear resistant. In contrast, multi-ribbed belts have a less number, but broader ribs, which means they've got more sidewall contact with the pulleys. So why should anyone use it? This design enables them to handle larger loads and to transmit more power compared to a micro v belt. 

The benefits of using a micro v belt over a multi-ribbed bel

Micro v belts are the bastions of flexibility and power efficiency in power transmission. They are narrower than classical V-belts and have more ribs, which allows them to bend or flex more around smaller-diameter pulleys, and they can be used with smaller diameter sheaves. Also, micro v belts get less warmer while operating, which results in less belt and pulley wear-out. That means longer belt life as well as less maintenance cost versus multi-rib belts.
