Dimesnions for Metric Multi-Vee Pulleys
Dimesnions for Metric Multi-Vee Pulleys
(OP)
Looking to manufacture multi-vee belt pulleys for automotive applications, but I can't find any dimensions to machine the grooves to. The belt that will be used is a metric 4pk890 which is a gates K040350.
Gates offer dimensions for all their imperial size multi-v belts, but nothing metric.
From what i've measured the pitch of the grooves is 3.5mm and approx 55deg.
Does anyone know of a chart where I can find dimensions for the metric belts?
Thanks,
Nigel.

RE: Dimesnions for Metric Multi-Vee Pulleys
I beleive Ametric offers sheaves for this pitch. You can also do a search of this site, as this topic pops up occassionally. You may want to switch to a J pitch or L pitch, as these pullies are often available "off the shelf" and do not require any set-up or additional machining costs.
