How to choose the right type of belt for outdoor power equipment
It’s important to choose the right kind of belt to get the performance you expect. Using the wrong kind of belt will deliver sub-standard performance.
Covered Belt
A protective covering overlays the belt so that you cannot see the cords of the belt like on a raw edge. On a deck belt application, if you strike an object such as metal, rock or hardscape, it will give you slight slippage, allowing the blade to stop and reduce chances of damage to the mower.
Raw Edge Belt
There is no fabric wrap so you can see the cords in the belt. This type of belt will not slip and is used for powertrain applications to keep wheels in motion without stopping, even on wet grass or other slippery terrain. These belts are also preferred for industrial market applications and compressors.
Cogged Belt
Cogged belts have similar applications to raw edge belts. This no-slip belt is preferred for zero-turn applications. Cogged belts have more tacticity on pulley surfaces than typical raw edge belts to enhance no-slip properties.
Double V Belt
Double V Belts are available in both covered and raw edge options. Double V Belt are used for applications in which it’s necessary for the belt to handle tight turns while maintaining contact with bearing surfaces.
When it’s time to replace a belt
You should periodically inspect belts to detect fraying, wear, shiny surfaces or dry rot. If you spot any of these conditions, you’ll want to replace your belts promptly before failure occurs. You may also want to consider replacement on intervals recommended by your owner’s manual.
