Gates Heavy Duty V-Belt Drive Design Manual 14995-A

Easy-Splice V-Belting
Endless V-belts should be used whenever possible because they
have maximum lifeload capability and minimum stretch, resulting in
minimum maintenance. However, there are some drives where it is
difficult or even impossible to install endless belts. In this case
spliced or link V-belting offers the best solution to the drive problem.
Gates Easy-Splice V-belting is similar in outward appearance to an
endless V-belt. It is cut to the required length and spliced with a
mechanical fastener. Easy-Splice is available in four standard cross
sections: A-VO, B-VO, C-VO and D-VO, corresponding to the A, B, C
and D standard industrial V-belt cross sections. Also double V-belting
in B cross section, BB-VO, is available. Easy-Splice is used on standard
V-groove sheaves.
Easy-Splice V-belting is specially constructed for splicing. Above and
below the tensile member of strong pulling cords are layers of sturdy
square-cut duck fabric. The cross weave of this tough fabric grips the
fastener cleats securely, preventing fastener pullout that causes
premature failure of other types of spliced belts.
Alligator splices are not available from Gates.
Easy-Splice is recommended when designing new drives using spliced
belting.
NOTE: Do not design new drives for Easy-Splice V-belting from this manual. For
design of new drives or instructions for belt replacement on existing drives, refer
to Gates Manual #14885.
