Multiple V-ribbed texropes
V-ribbed GUFERO® texropes also known as multi-groove texropes provide a solution for high transmission gear ratios, high speeds of the texrope, texrope transmission systems with many pulleys, in situations where there are texrope pulleys with small sections and where an external tensioning pulley is used. In most cases this type of texrope is used as a driving texrope in compact drives in home appliances, tools and in the automotive industry. In addition, V-ribbed texropes are used in many industrial applications, including heavy machinery. The distinguishing advantages of V-ribbed texropes include their high transmitting power, long service life, near vibration-free running, high permitted circumferential speed of up to 60 m/s and their temperature resistance from -30 °C to +80 °C.
If compared directly to raw edge texropes, multiple V-ribbed texropes have the following advantages:
- high efficiency (approx. 98 %)
- the possibility of application at high revolutions
- a lower run-out of the texrope
- a lower noise level
- the possibility to use texrope pulleys with very small diameters (up to 18 mm for the PJ section)
- less demanding maintenance
- longer service life
