A/B/C/D V-belts are classical V-belts, categorized by their cross-sectional dimensions. These letters (A, B, C, D) are standard designations used to describe the belt width and height, as defined by standards like ANSI/RMA or DIN.

---|---|---|---|
A | 13 mm (1/2") | 8 mm | Light-duty machinery |
B | 17 mm (5/8") | 11 mm | General industrial, HVAC |
C | 22 mm (7/8") | 14 mm | Heavy-duty applications |
D | 32 mm (1-1/4") | 19 mm | Very high-power transmission |
