It also covers belts or belting of vulcanised rubber reinforced with glass fibre fabric or glass fibres or with cloth of metal wire. f Belts and belting (other than belts or belting wholly of vulcanised rubber) enerally consist of a carcass made up of several layers of fabr~c,whether or not rubberised $e. stnpand which is fabric, knitted or crocheted fabric, layers of parallelised yarns) or of steel cab e orwarp wholly covered with vulcanised rubber. rm, The heading includes belting in the length (for subse uent cutting to length) as well as belts already cut to length (whether or not joined end to en or fitted with fasteners); it also covers endless belts. All these goods may be of rectangular, trapezoidal (V-belts and V-belting), circular or other cross-section. Belts or belting of trayezoidal cross-section are those products having one or more " V " shapes in cross-section. The ' V " surfaces are designed to provide good wed ing action and minimum slippage along the sides of the sheave. The category includes, e.g., elts or belting having a cross-section with : % (A) A single trapezoidal shape (B) Trapezoidal shapes on opposite sides. (C) Two or more trapezoidal shapes on the same side (V-ribbed). %A A V-ribbed belt is an endless belt with a longitudinally ribbed traction surface which engages and grips, by fiction, pulley grooves of similar shape. V-ribbed belts are a type of V-belt. Grooves (whether moulded or cut) in V-belts or belting reduce bending stress and help dissipate the heat from rapid flexing; this is especial1 im ortant on drives where the belts run over small !ongitudinal grooves, have no impact on the sheaves at high s eeds. Grooves, other classification of V- elts or belting. than K Synchronous belts (see illustration) are designed to transmit ower while maintaining a constant rotational relationship between sheaves. The completed pro$uct is often simply referred to as a timing belt. Notches, usually on the inner surface of the belt, are provided to operate smoothly with notched sheaves. Synchronous belts or belting do not have a trapezoidal cross-section. Belts of this heading may be resented in the form of a sleeve (tube) from which finished item can be cut; this presentation oes not affect classification. f Synchronous belt * Conveyor or transmission belts or belting presented with the machines or apparatus for which they are designed, whether or not actually mounted, are to be classified with that machine or apparatus (e.g., Secbon XVI).
