Industrial Transmission Belts
ROFLEX-VARI Agricultural V-Belts
Product description
ROFLEX-VARI 401 variable speed V-belts are temperature and oil resistant. The cord, the power transmitting element, has been designed for heavy power transmission while at the same time ensuring a very high degree of length stability. A special rubber compound with textile fibres oriented across the length of the belt provides high stability and minimizes deflection in the transverse direction. The moulded cog ensures maximum flexibility and optimum fit in the pulley grooves.
ROFLEX-VARI 404 is a reinforced version of 401. For example, the cord has been replaced by Kevlar cord which ensures better power transmission and a higher ultimate tensile strength.
ROFLEX-VARI 486 has the same characteristics as type 404 with Kevlar cord but is in double cog construction.
ROFLEX-VARI 488 has the same characteristics as type 404 but is in double cog construction reinforced with special cord fabric.
Application
ROFLEX-VARI 401 has been specially designed for the various infinitely variable transmissions of the combine harvesters.
The belt has been designed to absorb shock loads and large lateral pressures. It serves as a coupling belt in the event of blockings, yet the adapted friction level means that the belt pulls better through and causes fewer blockings.
ROFLEX-VARI 404 is recommended for cylinder drives where the demand for power transmission is particularly pronounced.
ROFLEX-VARI 486 and 488 is recommended for cylinder drives
where the demand for power transmission is particularly pronounced.The
reinforced variable speed belt is designed for heavy load
cylinder drives and is highle resistant towards blockades
due to carefully controlled friction features.

Calculation of belt length:
| Outside belt length | Datum length + belt height x 2.094 | |
| Pitch/datum belt length | Outside length - belt height x 2.094 | |
| Inside datum belt length | Outside length - belt height x 6.283 | |
| Effective outside belt length | Outside belt length | |
| Belt angle | Pulley angle + 2º as a guideline. |
