Belted Drives
Made for Safe, Efficient Production
V-belts and synchronous drives are widely used to change speeds and transmit torque from a drive, such as an electric motor to the driven equipment. Proper alignment is critical to maximize the life of the belted drive.
Our Offerings
V-Belt Sheaves
Dodge v-drive sheaves are manufactured to ISO 9002 quality standards with precision machining that meets or exceeds joint RMA/MPTA industry standards for smooth operation and extended belt life. This design provides low economical costs per horsepower transmitted due to shock load and vibration isolation, creating clean, quiet operation.
