ConCar - V-belt profile 8 / 545 Li 8x5 mm

Product overview

This ConCar V-belt, profile 8, focuses on its suitable profile shape and specified inner length of 545 mm. When installed, the V-belt runs in the appropriate pulley grooves and transmits power through friction. Within the length range offered here, this variant is one of the shorter versions. Profile 8 is also known as M-profile and is suitable for compact V-belt drives in machines, pumps, fans, and similar units. Crucially, the existing pulley must be designed for the 8 × 5 mm profile.

Profile and dimensions

Three length specifications are relevant for unambiguous selection: Li denotes the inner length (545 mm), Ld the reference length (564 mm), and La the outer length (576 mm). The cross-section is 8 × 5 mm. Compare these specifications with the markings of the existing belt or with the machine's technical data. The M-profile has a cross-section of 8 × 5 mm. It is not interchangeable with the larger profile 6, profile 10, or other cross-sections simply because some length specifications are similar.

Structure and properties

According to the specifications, the belt body is made of chloroprene rubber (neoprene) and contains a polyester tensile cord. The stated properties include resistance to oil, heat, abrasion, and ozone. An antistatic version is available from the manufacturer upon request for this profile and should be confirmed for the specific variant if required.

Areas of application

Profile 8, also known as M-profile, is suitable for compact V-belt drives in machines, pumps, fans, and similar equipment. Crucially, the existing pulley must be designed for the 8 × 5 mm profile.

Selection and assembly

Before ordering, the number 545 alone should not be the deciding factor. Ensure that the belt has profile 8, inner length Li 545 mm, and cross-section 8 × 5 mm. The pulleys must be aligned and must not have any damaged or sharp-edged grooves. Install the belt without using levers or forcibly tightening it; the required tension depends on the machine manufacturer's specifications. After starting the machine, it is advisable to check the seat and tension.

Comparable terms

Other manufacturers use their own product lines and naming conventions for V-belts. Therefore, to compare belts with those from Gates, Optibelt, Continental, or Megadyne, the profile and length system must be matched; a similar name alone does not guarantee interchangeability.
