Been batting this back and forth with my mate in the workshop.
Does (say) an 11A0700 belt have the same ratio of taper as a 10A0700? So the tip of the 10A will be 10/11ths of the 11A’s tip width? Or is it different? It came about from his insistence on using an 11A where the original was a 9 or 10A but the sheaves worn. “Same taper” he says, “It will just sit higher in the pulley”. No beer or pride is at stake, just a quest for the actual truth. |

He’s mixing up DIN and ISO standards.
I’m used to ISO (Z, A, B sections) DIN is numbers... Hope this table helps..  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Next you’ll want girls dancing on the bar!
Here’s the belt (OK, the packet) which kicked off the discussion. My mate contended this was the same cross-sectional ratio as 10A0545 (the spec’d belt for an application).  So in fact, this would be just riding on the “root” of the belt, compared to the correct item? |

Gracias. So the taper is not constant, assuming the sectional drawings to scale?

Appears that way!
In my day, an A section belt was simply an A... It was 1/2” or around 13mm across the top. A “Z” was next smaller section being 3/8” (10mm) across the top. I’m talking industrial though. I’d suggest Jap auto makers were behind the A section increments?

Modern narrow-profile automotive belts (10A, 11A, 13A etc.) all have the same wedge angle of 34 degrees. 10A & 11A are interchangeable in most cases.
The old style industrial belts V-belts (A-size B-size etc.) are 40 degrees. An A-size is often interchanged for a 13A automotive & works fine. The 6 degrees difference between the two types equates to only 3 degrees per side, hardly noticeable with rubber to metal contact. Dr Terry |

Thanks. That figure of 34° is what I was unable to find.
