Wrapped V-belt vs. Cogged V-belt – How to Choose?
When used in combine harvesters, the choice between a wrapped V-belt and a cogged V-belt depends on the operating conditions and performance requirements of the drive systems.
Wrapped V-belts are well-suited for heavy-duty and harsh field operations. Their fabric-wrapped construction provides excellent impact resistance, wear resistance, and anti-slip properties. This makes them ideal for handling sudden load changes caused by varying crop density, frequent starts and stops, and dusty environments. They are typically recommended for drives where stability and durability are the top priorities.
Cogged V-belts are designed to deliver higher power transmission efficiency and better heat dissipation—essential for combi...
