classic v belts

Wrapped V-belts are characterized by their unique construction, which features multiple layers of fabric and rubber. The “wrapped” aspect refers to the outer fabric cover that encases the belt's core. This design enhances its durability and strength, allowing it to withstand greater loads and resist wear and tear. Wrapped V-belts typically have a trapezoidal cross-section, which enables them to fit snugly into the grooves of pulleys, ensuring effective power transmission.

The designation “84.5%” typically refers to a specific measurement in terms of the belt’s material strength, durability, or efficiency. This percentage suggests that the belt can efficiently handle significant loads while maintaining superior performance, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicles, from compact cars to larger SUVs. The effectiveness of the 84.5% serpentine belt can be attributed to its manufacturing process, which often uses high-quality materials designed to withstand wear and tear.
