TB Wood Products
V-Belt Drives
Compact, narrow-wedge Ultra-V® Drives, which are available in 3V, 5V and 8V belt sections, provide improved performance and permit high speeds. Ultra-V delivers the same horsepower as conventional V-Drives in much less space and with far less weight. Most belts are high capacity with raw edge construction.
Classical V-Drives are available in a wide range of sizes and in A, B, C or D belt sections. Classical belts have an ORS construction with cogged belts having greater flexibility and capacity.
Light duty FHP V-Drives offer capacities up to 15 HP and are available in two sections: "A" sheaves accommodate A (4L) belts, while our "B" sheaves are made for A (4L) or B (5L) belts. When you need an economical, efficient and lightweight sheave, look no further than Wood's FHP drives.
All of Wood's sheaves are close-grained, high-tensile cast iron and provide safe, vibration-free operation at speeds up to 6500 rpm (ductile iron to 10,000 fpm). Sheaves are equipped with Sure-Grip® QD tapered bushings.
Synchronous Belt Drives
Wood's synchronous drives combine the best of both chain and belt drives. They provide positive power transmission and accurate speeds, yet require no lubrication and a minimum of maintenance. Load capacities scale up to 1200 HP at 1750 rpm. They offer high efficiency and are lightweight and compact.Offering all the features of timing belts, Wood's RPP-Plus and QT Power ChainTM drives are perfect for many high-torque, low-speed applications that formerly required roller chain. Wood's sprockets and timing pulleys have precision-machined, axial grooves for positive engagement with the belt teeth. Most use Sure-Grip bushings. Wood's stock RPP-Plus, QT Power Chain and timing belts have enormous tensile strength, excellent flex life, and resistance to elongation and wear.
Wood's QT Power Chain drives, available in 8 mm and 14 mm pitches, transmit substantially more horsepower per inch of belt width. To reduce the number of bored-to-size sprockets, many QT Power Chain sprockets include Wood's patented flangeless L bushing.
Our latest synchronous drive offers the added flexibility of a dual sprocket design that features metric and standard-tapped holes coupled with a high-capacity RPP-Plus belt. As a result, the RPP-Plus drive offers a significantly higher horsepower rating at the standard industry price.
Flexible Couplings
With several lines of high-performance couplings, TB Wood's offers a solution for any coupling application. Wood's lines of Elastomeric, Disc and Gear couplings offer our world-renowned reliability and flexibility.
Sure-Flex® Couplings
Wood's Sure-Flex couplings use a rubber (EPDM), neoprene, or Hytrel sleeve and have exceptional torsional flexibility. Their 4-way flexing action absorbs virtually all types of shock, vibration, misalignment, and end float.With Sure-Flex couplings, the need for lubrication or maintenance is eliminated. As a result, Sure-Flex couplings provide clean, dependable and quiet performance.
Dura-Flex® Couplings
Wood's Dura-Flex couplings are built with durability in mind, and are designed for extreme conditions. These high-performance couplings enjoy maximum flex life and are ideal for use with variable speed and variable torque applications.
Jaw Couplings
Wood's Jaw couplings are designed to meet high-quality standards while remaining affordable. Wood's offers two Jaw-type elastomeric couplings: a straight L-Jaw coupling available with four insert materials and a straight C-Jaw coupling designed for high torque loads. Both are 100% interchangeable with industry-standard designs.
