The SKF Z section V-belt is a power transmission element used to link pulleys and transmit motion between shafts. Its V profile fits into the pulley grooves and, by wedge effect, achieves a firm grip that allows driving loads with minimal slippage. It is a key part in machines and installations where reliability and low maintenance are needed. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its power transmission offering.
The designation of these belts combines letters and numbers that identify the type and length. In the PHG Z series, the letters PHG correspond to the product line, the Z indicates the cross section and the number that follows, as in PHG Z14.5 or PHG Z16, indicates the nominal length in inches. Values with decimals, for example PHG Z14.75, allow adjusting the center distance more precisely. When requesting a quote, it is best to provide the full code to ensure the exact equivalence.
In Argentine industry, these belts are found in fans, compressors, pumps, mills, mixers and conveyors. They are common in metalworking shops, food plants, tanneries and agro-industrial facilities. Their Z section makes them suitable for moderate power and small diameter pulleys, where other larger sections would not fit. They are also used in refrigeration equipment and in machine tools that require quiet and stable transmission.
To select correctly, you must verify the pulley section, the datum length and the number of grooves. Installation requires aligning the pulleys precisely and tensioning the belt according to the manufacturer's recommendations; excessive tension wears bearings and insufficient tension causes slippage. It is important to check the condition of the grooves and replace the belt at signs of cracking, fraying or stretching. Lubrication of the machine bearings also influences the service life of the assembly.
V-belts are available under different brands and nomenclatures. Equivalences are established by section and nominal length, not by the commercial code. When looking for a replacement, you must compare the profile, the length and the type of cover. In many cases, a belt from another brand with the same section and size designation is interchangeable, but it is always best to confirm with the supplier. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you to find the right equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does PHG Z14.5 mean?
- PHG identifies the product line, Z is the belt section and 14.5 indicates the nominal length in inches. That number may include decimals to adjust the center distance. It is always best to verify the full designation before requesting a quote.
- How do I know if a belt from another brand is equivalent?
- Equivalence is defined by the section and the nominal length, not by the commercial code. If the profile and the size match, it may be interchangeable. Even so, it is advisable to confirm with the supplier to avoid mistakes.
- What should I check before installing a new belt?
- Check that the pulleys are aligned, that the grooves are not worn and that the tension is correct. Poorly adjusted tension shortens the life of the belt and the bearings. Also check that there is no oil or dirt on the pulleys.
