Multi-Rib belts feature lengthwise groove and provide drive by adhesion. Compared with conventional belts of the same width, Multi-Rib belts optimize the contact area, giving increased power transfer. A thin cross section profile allows for use with smaller pulleys than standard V-belts. Drive width can be reduced because there is increased surface engagement allowing for increased horsepower per inch of belt width compared to standard V-belts. In specialty applications these belt and pulley combinations operate quietly with minimal vibration.

Key applications:

• Mobility lifts
• Agricultural mechanization
• Exercise equipment
• Custom applications
• Medical equipment
• Automation

Torque's new Multi-Rib belt-friendly pulleys and drives are available in a wide variety of materials as well as standard and custom sizes.
