DRIVE BELT JTBELT REINFORCED

The DRIVE BELT JTBELT REINFORCED is designed to meet the specific requirements of various V-belt applications. It is important to note that different manufacturing methods and measurements by V-belt manufacturers can lead to variations in length specifications. However, these differences do not impact the performance of the belts.

Length specifications are determined by various industry standards, distinguishing between external length (Le), internal length (Li), and pitch length, which is defined by DIN 2215 as the measurement at approximately 3/4 height of the belt.

Additionally, it is crucial to adhere to the belt tension guidelines provided by vehicle manufacturers for accurate length measurement, as this also influences the production process. Due to diverse measuring techniques, varying V-belt dimensions from different manufacturers may occur even on the same vehicle.

For Piaggio scooters, it is particularly crucial to inspect the oil pump belt after a V-belt failure. The potential for flying debris from a broken V-belt can cause damage to the oil pump belt, which is located behind the variomatic and may not be readily visible. A thorough examination of the oil pump belt is advisable, and it should be replaced if any damage is observed. Neglecting a damaged oil pump belt can lead to severe consequences, including piston seizure.
