Wedge Belts have been the result of continuous thrust by the manufacturers and the users on higher power transmissions with reduction in space requirements. Wedge belts can transmit high power to extent of 1.5 to 2 times the classical belts with same top width this has been achieved by the dimensional changes, part from better cord constructions used and the optimum placing of the cord line which provides the best support to the cord while in motion. For efficient performance of wedge drives it is essential that the proper tension be maintained in the drives, failure to maintain the same will render the purpose of wedge belts ineffctive.
