technology FEATURE Commercial Vehicle Ribbed V-belts - Top performance for extreme loads Transport professionals know that their commercial vehicles only pay their way when they are on the road, whereas breakdowns and repairs keep them out of action and cost money. W hich is why the new heavy duty ribbed V-belts from Bosch are the ideal choice for professional vehicle operators – they keep commercial vehicles on the road. Thanks to their robust design, Bosch ribbed V-belts offer extremely high load resistance and can reliably transfer the engine power with a high level of strength. High level of resistance gives them a long service life. Optimum performance under the toughest of conditions. Upgrade version with aramid cords Drive belts need to be extremely reliable, even under the toughest of conditions. Bosch thus offers high performance ribbed V-belts with aramid tension members for special applications. The tremendous strength of the tension member ensures reliable operation, even under extreme condition. Professionals rely on quality, because quality pays Commercial vehicle ribbed V-belts from Bosch with high-tech cords Economical operation thanks to fail-safe operation The increasingly compact designs of modern commercial vehicle engines also place greater demands on V-belts, which have to be equipped to withstand the heavy strains placed on them by professional use of commercial vehicles over long journeys, without failing.

Ripped V-belts are one of the most common causes of commercial vehicle breakdowns. For the highest possible levels of reliability, opt for commercial vehicle ribbed V-belts from Bosch. They offer extremely high load capacity and are fail-safe, and by fitting them you can reduce costly vehicle standing times due to breakdowns and unplanned repairs and hence make a significant contribution to the economical operation of any fleet of commercial vehicles. • • • Ultra-modern rubbers – For optimal wear resistance under the toughest of conditions High-tech cords – In the upgrade version it is reinforced with aramid cords which is extremely resilient due to an even tougher tension member Low profile height – Flexible bending characteristics, optimum thermal properties even with small diameters in serpentine drives Thanks to the use of innovative, synthetic rubbers and high tech cords, ribbed V-belts from Bosch offer high tensile strength, high dimensional stability and a high load capacity. During driving they have low vibration levels and very low noise. Thanks to their minimum slip, they offer high levels of power transmission. They are therefore very well suited for use with the wide axle spacings and high engine power typical of commercial vehicles and the strong vibrations to which these vehicles are subject during driving. They are even resistant to impacts and pulsating operation. | words in action 32 Commercial vehicle ribbed V-belts from Bosch • • • • Optimum power transmission Minimal slip Resistant to oil, ultraviolet light and high temperatures Low vibration and noise For more information, visit www.bosch.co.za or e-mail [email protected] november 2014
