3V series three groove tapered bushing pulley applies to 3V, 3VX, 3V belt, and 3VX belt. Their diameters range from 2.65 inches to 33.50 inches. Depending on the pulley size, they use G, H, P1, Q1, or R1 split tapered bushes, which we also have in stock. Our three-groove 3V split taper pulley is mainly made of high-strength 35 cast iron, coated with phosphate coating and anti-corrosion paint. All these are balanced at the factory to ensure the machine's smooth operation.
How to select the correct 3V pulley and V-belt?
The 3V pulley is a mechanical pulley used to rotate the 3V belt. These pulleys, also known as V-pulleys, are usually placed side by side. The circumference of a single pulley may have multiple grooves. When used for multiple belt drives, torque is distributed across multiple belts, providing mechanical redundancy.
Compared with other mechanical drives, belt drives have several advantages. For example, they can provide opposite rotation without a driveline. They are also easier to maintain and clean than different types of drives. They are also more flexible and do not require oil or grease to work. These advantages make them more affordable than other drive types.
When selecting a 3V pulley, you must understand the working principle of the cross-section. The cross-section of the V-belt is usually described as a trapezoid with the top and bottom parallel. The pitch line, the distance between the top and bottom surfaces, and the inside and outside lengths are critical. Understanding these features will ensure that you choose the correct size for your application.
Match 3V, 3VX series V belt
(1) 3V series V-belt
The classic 3V series V-belt has a top width of 0.38 ", a thickness of 0.31", and an angle of 38 °, which also classifies it as a deep wedge V-belt. The 3V series belts are more compact and powerful than the standard 40 ° angle v-belts. Because of their long-term success and economical operation, they are also one of the industry's most widely used belt series. The high-quality 3V series v-belts we provide are manufactured according to ISO 9001 and ARPM standards; They are oil and heat-resistant and can be directly interchanged with other brands. The 3V conveyor belt is made of natural rubber compound and polyester rope, covered with a cotton and polyester mixture and is highly durable. The 3V series belts are used with HVAC, lawn and garden equipment, and agricultural equipment for most general heavy industrial applications. We also stock a complete set of high-power v-belts and matching v-pulleys/pulleys.
(2) 3V series ribbon V-belt
The 3V series v-belts are part of the "classic" v-belt series because they are one of the oldest and most common styles. Our belts are manufactured according to ARPM standards and have excellent strength, durability, and performance. The top width of each belt (belt/rib) of the 3V series v-belt is 0.38 inches.
(3) 3VX toothed V-belt
The top width of the 3VX toothed v-belt is 0.38 ", and the thickness is 0.31". Our grooved 3VX v-belts are manufactured with rough sidewalls to eliminate slip, improve efficiency and save operating costs. They are also manufactured according to ARPM standards and are oil and heat-resistant. The 3VX conveyor belt comprises high-quality neoprene compound and high-strength polyester rope, and the top fabric is made of a cotton polyester blend. In addition to performance, durability, and energy conservation advantages, our v-belts will also be used with existing vertical pulleys/pulleys. Please contact us to get the quotation for a 3VX toothed v-belt or pulley; we are happy to help you.
(4) 3VX toothed V-belt
All our v-belts are manufactured according to ARPM specifications, with excellent performance and durability. Because of its design, the belt 3VX toothed v-belt runs more smoothly and loosely and is generally more durable than the standard belt C v-belt. They also provide higher efficiency than ordinary v-belts, which means fewer energy costs.
Split tapered bushes are one of the most commonly used bushes because they have high overall strength, are easy to install and unload, and have a high retention force to connect the shaft to the drive unit or idler gear assembly. Open tapered bushes are used for various pulleys, conveyor pulleys, and sprockets. Our split taper bushes are steel or cast material and can be interchanged with any other brand. It is designed as a flanged bushing with a tapered cylinder with a slit on each side. We have G series to W2 series split tapered bushes, 0.375 inches to 7.438 inches, and metric bore. For more information or to get a quote for our high-strength open taper bushing, please contact our customer support team, and we will be happy to help you.

Working principle and characteristics of pulley
The working principle of the belt pulley is that the belt connects the driving belt pulley and the driven belt pulley, and the power is driven by the friction between the belt pulley and the belt. The belt pulley drive operates stably, with low noise, slight vibration, simple structure, and convenient maintenance. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to install, easy to slip after a long time of use, and the transmission efficiency cannot be guaranteed.
The taper sleeve pulley is a new type widely used in Europe and America. It consists of two parts. Connect a conical sleeve between the belt pulley and the mounting shaft, then lock the screw with an Allen wrench. The belt pulley solves the complex problem of traditional belt pulley installation. It doesn't need external force as before. Pullers, hammers, and other items only need an Allen wrench to complete the installation. After installation and use, even if the pulley is worn and slipping, it is not necessary to replace the entire pulley simultaneously. Only one installation cone sleeve can be used continuously, significantly reducing the cost.
