Cogged V-Belt, also known as notched V-belt, is a high-efficiency transmission belt with evenly distributed notches (cogs) on the inner surface. Different from the traditional flat-bottom V-belt, its cogged design optimizes flexibility and heat dissipation, adopting high-quality chloroprene rubber (CR), EPDM or neoprene as the base material, reinforced with high-strength polyester, aramid or fiberglass cords, and the surface is covered with wear-resistant fabric. It is widely used in automotive engines, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, pumps, compressors and other fields, especially suitable for small pulley diameters, large speed ratios and narrow installation space scenarios, realizing efficient and stable power transmission.
l Superior Flexibility & Small Pulley Adaptability:
The inner cogged design reduces the bending resistance of the belt, allowing it to fit small-diameter pulleys (minimum pulley diameter is 30% smaller than traditional V-belts) without excessive stress, avoiding cord damage and extending service life.
l High Transmission Efficiency:
The cogged structure reduces contact friction between the belt and the pulley groove, improves heat dissipation performance, reduces energy loss, and the transmission efficiency can reach 96%-98%, which is 2%-3% higher than that of traditional flat-bottom V-belts.
l Strong Load-Bearing Capacity:
Reinforced with high-strength cords, combined with the reasonable stress distribution of the cogged design, it can bear high torque and load, resist stretching and breaking, and is suitable for high-speed and heavy-duty transmission scenarios.
l Heat Dissipation & Wear Resistance:
The notches on the inner surface increase the heat dissipation area, effectively reducing the temperature rise during operation; the wear-resistant fabric covering and high-quality rubber material enhance the wear resistance and oil resistance, adapting to harsh working environments.
l Wide Compatibility & Easy Replacement:
It has the same external dimensions as traditional flat-bottom V-belts, can directly replace the traditional V-belts without modifying the pulley, and is compatible with most existing transmission systems, with simple installation and replacement.

Maintenance Tips:
l Replacement Cycle: Replace every 40,000-70,000 km (for automotive applications) or 1800-2800 operating hours (for industrial equipment); shorten the cycle by 30% under high temperature, high load, frequent start-stop or oil-contaminated working conditions.
l Tension Standard: The initial tension should be controlled at 18-26N/mm of belt width; for belts with center distance ≤ 700mm, the deflection should be 1.2%-1.8% of the center distance; excessive tension will accelerate bearing wear, while insufficient tension will cause slipping and overheating.
l Environmental Requirements: Avoid long-term contact with engine oil, gasoline, coolant, acid, alkali and other corrosive substances to prevent rubber aging and cord corrosion; the recommended working temperature is -30℃~115℃, and avoid continuous operation at temperatures exceeding 125℃.
l Regular Inspection: Check the belt surface, cogs and cords every 700 operating hours; replace immediately if there are cog wear (exceeding 12%), cracks, cord exposure, rubber hardening or delamination.
l Installation & Usage: Do not use sharp tools to pry or scratch the cogs during installation to avoid damaging the belt body; ensure the pulley groove is clean, free of debris and wear, and the belt is correctly installed in the pulley groove without deviation.
