3V Series Cast Iron Ten-Groove QD Sheaves for “3V” Belts

3V Series Cast Iron Ten-Groove QD Sheaves for “3V” Belts

3V series ten-groove QD (quick detachable) bushed sheaves are manufactured for 3V, 3VX, banded 3V, and banded 3VX belts. They range from 4.75″ to 33.50″ in diameter. Depending on the sheave size, they are made to use an SK, SF, E, or F QD bushing, which we also stock. Most of our ten-groove 3V QD sheaves are manufactured from a high-strength grade 35 cast iron, are phosphate-coated, and are painted for anti-corrosion. All of them are balanced at the factory for smooth machinery operation.

Matching 3V, 3VX Series V-Belt

(1) 3V-Series Deep Wedge V-Belts

Classic 3V-Series V-Belts have a 0.38″ top-width, 0.31″ thickness, and a 38° angle, which also classifies them as a deep-wedge v-belt. 3V series belts are designed to be more compact with more drive capability than the standard 40° angle v-belts. Because of their long-term success and economical operation, they are also one of the industry’s most widely used belt series. The premium 3V-series v-belts we supply are manufactured under ISO 9001 specifications and ARPM Standards; they are oil and heat-resistant and directly interchange with other brands. 3V belts are constructed of a natural rubber compound with polyester cords and use cotton with a polyester blend cover for high durability. 3V series belts are used in most general heavy-duty industrial applications along with Heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), lawn and garden equipment, and agricultural equipment. We also stock a complete line of v-belts along with the accompanying v-belt pulleys/ sheaves.

(2) 3VX Cogged V-Belts

3VX cogged v-belts are designated by having a 0.38″ top-width and 0.31″ thickness. Our cogged 3VX v-belts are manufactured with raw-edge sidewalls to eliminate slippage and increase efficacy, saving operation costs. They are also manufactured by ARPM standards and are oil and heat-resistant. 3VX belts are constructed from a high-quality chloroprene compound with high-strength polyester chords and have a top fabric built from a cotton polyester blend. Besides the performance, durability, and energy savings benefits, our cogged v-belts will work with existing v-belt pulleys/ sheaves.

(3) 3V-Series Banded V-Belts

3V-series v-belts are a part of the “classic” lineup of v-belts because they are one of the oldest style belts used and one of the most common. Our belts are manufactured by ARPM standards and offer superior strength, durability, and performance. 3V-series v-belts have a 0.38″ top-width per belt (band/ rib).

(4) 3VX Banded Cogged V-Belts

All our v-belts are manufactured by ARPM specifications and offer superior performance and durability. All our v-belts are manufactured by ARPM specifications and provide excellent performance and durability. Due to their design, banded 3VX cogged v-belts run smoother, more relaxed, and typically outlast a standard banded C v-belt. They also offer a higher efficiency than ordinary banded v-belts, which means fewer energy costs.

Accessories QD Bushings

QD bushings are utilized throughout the industrial power transmission and agricultural industry for various sprockets, sheaves, pulleys, and synchronized drives. They are designed for easy installation and easy uninstallation; they are also commonly referred to as quick-disconnect bushings. QD bushings can help conventional mounting with the flange outboard and reverse mounting to where the flange is inboard and utilize a single split that extends through the entire bushing length. Our QD bushings interchange with other brands and are made from high-grade steel precision machined for perfect application fitment. QD bushings’ benefits over different styles include; ease of installation/ uninstall, superior holding power, and extreme strengths. We stock all the standard sizes of QD bushings and supply custom QD bushings upon request, including stainless steel ones. QD bushings are found in some of the most rugged applications worldwide; contact our customer service team today for a quote or additional information on our premium QD bushings.

QD Bushed Sheaves for 3V Belts

Quick detachable (QD) bushings allow easy installation and removal, minimizing downtime without sacrificing the protection your machinery needs. Get the most out of your drive system by matching your QD bushings to QD bushed sheaves.
