5V Series Cast Iron Three-Groove Sheaves with Split Taper Bushings for “5V” Belts

5V Series Cast Iron Three-Groove Sheaves with Split Taper Bushings for “5V” Belts

5V series three-groove taper bushed sheaves are manufactured for 5V, 5VX, banded 5V, and banded 5VX belts. They range from 4.40″ to 50.0″ in diameter. Depending on the sheave size, they are made to use P1, Q1, R1, S1, or U0 split-taper bushings, which we also stock. Most of our three-groove 5V split taper 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 5V, 5VX Series V-Belt

(1) 5V-Series V-Belts

Classic 5V-Series V-Belts have a 0.63″ top-width, 0.53″ thickness, and a 38° angle. Additionally, 5V V-belts are one of the oldest styles of V-Belts in the industry. Because of their long-term success and economical operation, they are also one of the industry’s most widely used belt series. The premium 5V-series v-belts we supply are manufactured under ISO 9001 specifications, are oil and heat resistant, and directly interchange with other brands. They are constructed of a natural rubber compound with polyester cords and use cotton with a polyester blend cover for high durability.

(2) 5V-Series Banded V-Belts

5V-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 styles. Our belts are manufactured by ARPM standards and offer superior strength, durability, and performance. 5V-series v-belts have a 0.63″ top-width per belt (band/ rib).

(3) 5VX Cogged V-Belts

5VX cogged v-belts are designated by having a 0.53″ top-width and 0.53″ thickness. Our cogged 5VX 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. 5VX 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 stand v belt pulleys/ sheaves.

(4) 5VX Banded Cogged V-Belts

All our v-belts are manufactured by ARPM specifications and offer superior performance and durability. Due to their design, banded 5VX 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. We can also stock sheaves/ pulleys for 5VX banded belts.

Split Taper Bushings

Taper bushings are amongst the most common bushings utilized due to their high integral strength, simplicity of installation and uninstall, and high holding power for successfully coupling a shaft onto a drive or idler component. Split taper bushings are amongst the most common bushings utilized due to their high integral strength, simplicity of installation and uninstall, and high holding power for successfully coupling a shaft onto a drive or idler component. Split taper bushings are utilized in a broad range of sheaves, conveyor pulleys, and sprockets. We stock split taper bushings ranging from the G-series to W2-series and in inch and metric bore sizes that range from 0.375″ up to 7.438″.

5V-Section Sheaves for V-Belts

5V-section sheaves are explicitly manufactured for 5V-series v-belts and banded 5V belts. Our 5V-section v-belt sheaves are dimensionally manufactured to ARPM standards, so they directly interchange with other brands. 5V pulleys only come in taper lock style and QD (quick detachable) style for increased bore range flexibility. What separates our sheaves from others on the market is that most of them are manufactured from a grade 35 cast iron instead of the standard grade 25. This produces a much stronger sheave with better wear resistance. Something else to note is that these sheaves have been dynamically balanced for a smoother operation and reduced vibration, which results in longer bearing and machinery life. Additionally, they are phosphate and painted for added protection against corrosion.
