ConCar V-belt XPZ 975 Lw 10x8 MM

Product overview

The ConCar XPZ 975 Lw 10x8 mm V-belt is a classic narrow V-belt for XPZ pulleys. Its effective length of 975 mm and cross-section of 10 × 8 mm determine its suitability for various drives. With the correct selection, an existing belt can be replaced without altering the fundamental drive concept. The toothed, open-flank design is engineered for smooth running over the pulleys. At 975 mm, this belt is one of the shorter belts in the available XPZ range.

The most important dimensions

• Belt profile: XPZ
• Effective length: 975 mm
• External length: 988 mm
• Internal length: 937 mm
• Width × Height: 10 × 8 mm

The standardized XPZ profile includes the trapezoidal shape typical of narrow V-belts and a flank angle of approximately 40°. The belt thus fits into a matching XPZ pulley via its flanks. Therefore, when replacing a belt, not only the length but also the existing profile is crucial.

Structure and function

Structurally, this is a narrow V-belt with open flanks and molded teeth. The belt flanks transmit power in the pulley groove. Inside, high-strength tensile cords provide the necessary load-bearing capacity, while the molded teeth enhance flexibility during rotation. The standardized geometry according to DIN 7753 / ISO 4184 simplifies the selection of a suitable replacement belt.

Use in drive systems

Belt drives of this type are particularly common on fans, blowers, pumps, compressors, and conveyor systems. Narrow V-belts are also found in general mechanical engineering and agricultural machinery. Whether a specific belt is suitable for a machine always depends on its profile, effective length, pulley diameter, and drive power.

Assembly and selection

During installation, the belt should be placed on the pulleys without tension and not forced over them. Before installation, the pulleys, alignment, and groove profile must be checked. The belt tension must be set according to the specifications of the respective machine manufacturer. Excessive or insufficient tension can increase wear and impair the drive's function.

For selection according to DIN 7753 / ISO 4184, the profile and effective length of the existing drive should be compared with the specifications of the new belt. The outer and inner lengths can serve as additional comparison values. The belt specified here has 975 mm Lw, 988 mm La, and 937 mm Li.

Maintenance and replacement

A V-belt should be regularly inspected for visible cracks, frayed edges, unusual shiny spots, abrasion, or other signs of wear. Changes in tension or a distinct squeaking noise can also indicate a need for maintenance in the drive system. When replacing the belt, it is advisable to check the pulleys and the alignment of the entire drive.

Frequently Asked Questions

The correct profile size is crucial. An XPA belt does not automatically replace an XPZ, XPB, or XPC belt. The effective length must also match the existing drive. For this article, XPZ and a 975 mm effective length are the relevant specifications.

Delivery

A ConCar narrow V-belt in the described XPZ 975 Lw version with a 10 × 8 mm cross-section will be supplied. Please compare the specifications with your existing belt and/or pulley before ordering to ensure the profile and length are compatible with your drive system.
