sprocket and toothed belt

Raw edge cogged V-belts are a type of belt used in belt-drive systems. Unlike traditional V-belts, which have a smooth surface, raw edge cogged V-belts feature a toothed design along the inner surface. This design enhances flexibility and allows for better grip and engagement with the drive pulleys. The term raw edge indicates that the belt is constructed without any protective outer layer, which provides advantages in terms of performance and adaptability.

The primary function of small toothed belts is to transfer power and motion between rotating shafts in a synchronized manner. This synchronization is vital in applications where the timing of movement is critical. Unlike traditional V-belts, which can slip under load, small toothed belts grip firmly on the pulley, ensuring that the motion of the driven component is in perfect timing with the driver. This characteristic makes them ideal for applications such as automotive engines, where precise timing is necessary to maintain engine performance and prevent mechanical failure.
