5-8. V-belt pulleys-.

These pulleys have one or more V-grooves to carry V-belts which
are made of rubber and fibre and moulded as endless loops. This form
of transmission is very widely used in modern times. Fig. 15-10 shows
two views of a V-belt pulley having three grooves. Details of a
V-groove along with the belt-section are shown in fig. 15-11.

Protected type of flanged coupling

FiG. 14-5

14-2-1. Protected type flange-coupling

Fig. 14-5 shows a shrouded or protected type of flanged coupling.
Each flange is provided with a shroud or annular projection, which
shelters the bolt-heads or the nuts, and prevents them from catching
clothes of workmen. This type of coupling is sometimes used as a belt
pulley. For correct alignment of the shafts, a spigot or projection is
formed in the centre of one flange. This spigot is made to fit accurately
into a corresponding socket or recess provided in the other flange
Instead of providing a shroud, the flanges are very often made
thicker and then counter-bored to accommodate bolt-heads and nuts,
for the same
purpose.
2 Solid flanged coupling (fig, 14-6)
This type of coupling is used mainly for shafts of marine engines.
The flanges are forged solid with the shafts and are connected together
Dy means of a number of headless taper bolts.
