Abstract

An endless power transmission V-belt construction and method of making the same are provided, the belt construction being formed mainly of polymeric material and having rounded top and bottom teeth respectively extending along the length of the top and bottom surfaces of the belt construction, the belt construction comprising a tension section having the top surface, a compression section having the bottom surface, and a load-carrying section disposed intermediate the tension section and the compression section. The bottom to top tooth pitch ratio of the belt construction, the bottom to top tooth depth ratio thereof, and the belt thickness to flex thickness ratio thereof may be varied in specific instances to optimize performance in specific uses.
