Poly V-Belt, 28" Length, 3/8" Width, 4 Rib (204c)

Poly V-Belt, 28” x ⅜” 4-Rib - Versatile Power for Kwik-Way Lathes

This Poly V-Belt, features a 28-inch (approx. 711.2mm) length, a ⅜-inch (approx. 9.5mm) width, and is designed with 4 ribs (grooves), making it a versatile power transmission component for several Kwik-Way and Van Norman Brake machines. It serves as the motor drive belt for the 103 Multi-Speed Combination Lathe, requiring proper tensioning upon installation. For the 341 Heavy Duty Bus & Truck Combination Lathe, it is integral to the GearFree™ Spindle Drive system. Additionally, it is a key component of the Power Feed Attachment for Facing Disc Brakes on the 204C Heavy Duty Combination Brake Lathe. Its robust design ensures reliable power transfer and smooth operation across these demanding applications.

Poly V-Belt (28” Length, ⅜” Width, 4 Rib) - Reliable Power Transmission for Kwik-Way Lathes

This Poly V-Belt, is a robust and essential component for power transmission across a range of Kwik-Way industrial lathes. Engineered for durability and consistent performance, this belt ensures efficient operation in demanding workshop environments.

Key Characteristics and Dimensions:

• Type: Poly-V Belt.
• Dimensions: It features an approximate 28-inch (711.2mm) length and an approximate ⅜-inch (9.5mm) width.
• Rib Configuration: Designed with 4 ribs (or grooves), providing superior surface contact and increased power transmission capability compared to traditional V-belts.

Versatile Applications Across Kwik-Way Lathe Models:

This Poly V-Belt serves critical roles in the drive systems of multiple Kwik-Way combination lathe models:

1. For the 103 Multi-Speed Combination Lathe: * It functions as the essential motor drive belt, transferring power from the motor to the machine’s spindle system. * For proper initial setup, this belt is typically shipped off the motor drive pulley to prevent stretching during transit. Users are instructed to replace the motor drive belt onto the desired step of the three-step pulley, tension it properly, and then tighten the motor bracket before operating the machine.

2. For the 341 Heavy Duty Bus & Truck Combination Lathe: * The belt is an integral part of the sophisticated GearFree™ Spindle Drive system. Its smooth and efficient power transfer is crucial for the heavy-duty applications this lathe handles. * Regular inspection for signs of wear such as cracking or fraying is recommended, and if detected, immediate replacement is advised to maintain optimal machine performance.

3. For the 204C Heavy Duty Combination Brake Lathe: * This belt is specifically listed as a key component of the Power Feed Attachment for Facing Disc Brakes. It ensures smooth and consistent power delivery to the feed mechanism, which is vital for achieving precise and uniform finishes on disc brakes.

Importance of Proper Installation and Maintenance:

The durable construction of this Poly V-Belt ensures long-lasting performance. However, proper installation, including correct tensioning, and timely replacement when signs of wear appear, are crucial for maximizing machine efficiency, preventing unexpected downtime, and maintaining the high precision expected from Kwik-Way equipment.
