V-belts are of standard lengths 4. V-angles of pulleys and belts are standardized. Select the correct answer using the code given below Correct Answer 1, 3 and 4

A V belt of cross section B and width pitch length (Lp) 4430 mm is designated as B4430Lp.

  1. For V belt the standard value of belt angle is 40°.
  2. The groove angle for V belt pulley is from 34° to 38°.
  3. V belts are used for high speeds end.
  4. V belt results in wedging action between the belt and groove, thereby increasing the frictional force and consequently the frictional power.
