Double Sided V Belts

Also known as hexagonal belts, hex belts, double-V belts, or double-angle belts, double sided V belts are built to transmit power from both faces of the belt rather than a single wedge-shaped groove. This double-angle design lets a single double v belt drive multiple pulleys arranged on opposite sides of the belt, making it a practical choice for compact, multi-pulley layouts in agricultural, lawn and garden, textile, and manufacturing equipment. Because a double banded v belt runs its hexagonal cross-section against sidewalls on both faces, it needs a rigid, oil- and heat-resistant construction to maintain consistent contact and avoid slippage under multidirectional load. 3BG Supply Co. stocks double sided V belts and matching double v belt pulleys in AA, BB, and CC sections, so MRO teams can find a properly sized double v belt drive pulley without cross-referencing multiple catalogs.

    FAQs

    What is a double sided V belt used for?

    Double sided V belts (also called hex belts or double-angle belts) transmit power from both faces of the belt, allowing a single belt to drive multiple pulleys arranged on opposite sides in a compact, multidirectional layout. They're common on agricultural, lawn and garden, and manufacturing equipment where space for separate belts is limited.

    What's the difference between a double V belt and a standard V-belt?

    A standard V-belt has a single trapezoidal cross-section that only contacts one pulley groove at a time, while a double V belt has a hexagonal cross-section that contacts pulleys on both faces simultaneously. This lets the double-angle design transmit power in multiple directions from one continuous belt.

    What sizes do double sided V belts come in?

    Double sided V belts are commonly available in AA, BB, and CC sections, each with a different nominal width and thickness — AA has a 1/2-inch nominal center width, BB is 21/32 inch, and CC is 7/8 inch. Matching the section to your double v belt pulleys' groove dimensions is critical for proper fit and power transmission.

    How do I know if I need a double banded V belt instead of a standard belt?

    If your drive layout requires a single belt to power pulleys positioned on both sides of its run — common in multi-shaft agricultural or lawn and garden equipment — a double banded v belt is typically the right fit. A standard single-sided V-belt can only drive pulleys along one continuous groove path.

    What materials are double sided V belts made from?

    Most double sided V belts use a neoprene or similar rubber compound reinforced with polyester tensile cords, wrapped in an oil- and heat-resistant fabric cover. This construction resists cracking, oil exposure, and flex fatigue across the belt's full range of multidirectional bends.
