  • Patent number: 11518125
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a cogged V-belt having a plurality of cogs, includes: an unvulcanized sleeve formation step of forming an unvulcanized sleeve by laminating a plurality of unvulcanized rubber sheets that contain at least an unvulcanized rubber sheet for a compression rubber layer and an unvulcanized rubber sheet for a tension rubber layer; a vulcanized sleeve formation step of forming a vulcanized sleeve by vulcanizing the unvulcanized sleeve; and a cog formation step of forming the plurality of cogs on the compression rubber layer after the vulcanized sleeve forming step.

  • Patent number: 11421752
    Abstract: A power transmission V-belt includes a tension member, an adhesion rubber layer in which at least part of the tension member is embedded, and a tension rubber layer and a compression rubber layer stacked via the adhesion rubber layer. A rubber hardness of the tension rubber layer is smaller than a rubber hardness of the compression rubber layer. In the adhesion rubber layer, a rubber hardness on a tension rubber layer side relative to the tension member is smaller than a rubber hardness on a compression rubber layer side.

  • Patent number: 10641355
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmission belt containing a core wire extending in a lengthwise direction of the belt, an adhesive rubber layer in contact with at least a part of the core wire, a back surface rubber layer formed on one surface of the adhesive rubber layer, and an inner surface rubber layer formed on the other surface of the adhesive rubber layer and engaging or in contact with a pulley, in which the adhesive rubber layer is formed by a vulcanized rubber composition containing a rubber component, a fatty acid amide and a silica.

  • Patent number: 10591020
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a power transmission belt provided with a tension member, a tension member-supporting layer, a tension rubber layer, and a compression rubber layer, the belt having a plurality of cog portions, in which the tension member is formed of an aramid fiber, the compression rubber layer is formed of a vulcanized rubber composition containing a rubber component and aramid short fibers embedded in the vulcanized rubber composition with being arranged in a width direction of the belt, the power transmission belt has a strain of from 0.5 to 0.8% when compressed under a stress of 2.0 N/mm2 in the width direction, and the power transmission belt has a strain of from 0.35 to 0.7% when pulled under a load of 2 kN in the lengthwise direction.
