Higher power transmission by continuous and uniform cord.

A larger contact surface than V belts.

Technical studies have revealed that at the same tension and with the same geometry the Poly V compared to V-Belt has an upper yield : it is situated on average around 98 %, a fact that reduces electricity consumption and the size of the motor.

Higher transmission ratio
Ribbed belt 1: 60 vs V belt 1: 20.
Avoids the need for staged pulleys.

Reduced diameter of the pulleys
The minimum diameters of ribbed profiles are smaller than those of V-Belt profiles.

Reduced weight of the transmission
No need for a tensioner.

Reduced belt width for a given geometry and the same power transfer (small ribbed pulley).

Moreover, the Poly V can operate in flexion and counter flexion with the following benefits:

A single belt can drive several accessories: serpentine belt installation.
Driving accessories from the back of the belt.
