What is V-Belt vs. Cog Belt Drive Analysis about?
Cog belts are not well-suited for use with centrifugal slurry pumps. While cog belts can act as a clutch to prevent damage from overloads, retrofitting an existing V-belt system with cog belts can cause several problems. Cog belts require higher tension than V-belts, increasing loads on bearings and shortening their life. Cog belts also create much louder noise and are more sensitive to misalignment issues. Contamination is a major concern for cog belts used on slurry pumps as debris can get trapped and dam
