From PH to PM profiles, KTD's V-ribbed pulleys deliver superior power transmission efficiency, minimal vibration, and long service life — engineered to ISO 9982 standards.
KTD manufactures V-ribbed pulleys across all standard profiles — PH, PJ, PK, PL, and PM — in compliance with ISO 9982. Whether you need a compact PJ pulley for a domestic appliance motor or a heavy-duty PL pulley for an industrial drive system, our range covers every application.
Every KTD Poly-V pulley is designed and manufactured in strict accordance with ISO 9982, ensuring perfect dimensional compatibility with all standard V-ribbed belts. Our material selection and precision machining processes guarantee consistent groove geometry and long-term performance reliability.

The performance of a Poly-V drive depends entirely on the accuracy of the pulley groove geometry. At KTD, every V-ribbed pulley undergoes precision CNC machining and rigorous quality inspection to ensure flawless belt engagement and extended system life.
Using advanced CNC turning centers, we machine all groove profiles to the exact 40° angle and pitch dimensions specified by ISO 9982. This ensures maximum contact between belt and pulley, eliminating micro-slippage and preventing premature belt wear.
Multi-ribbed drives often operate at belt speeds up to 60 m/s. Every KTD Poly-V pulley undergoes dynamic balancing to eliminate residual imbalance, ensuring vibration-free operation that protects bearings and extends the life of the entire drive system.
Groove surface quality directly impacts belt life. We apply optimized surface finishes — including phosphating for cast iron and hard anodizing for aluminum — to reduce friction, resist corrosion, and maintain groove geometry throughout the pulley's service life.
Before shipment, every pulley batch is inspected using Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) to verify groove pitch, groove angle, bore diameter, and runout. Only pulleys that meet 100% of the specified tolerances leave our facility.
Standard profiles cover most applications — but not all. When your drive system requires a non-standard rib count, a unique effective diameter, or a specialized hub configuration, KTD's engineering team delivers fully custom V-ribbed pulleys from drawing to finished part.
Need a PK pulley with 18 ribs, or a PL pulley with a non-standard effective diameter? We manufacture to any custom specification, including profiles outside the standard PH–PM range, to match your exact belt and drive geometry. Module 2
We offer custom bore diameters, keyway dimensions, taper lock interfaces, and spline connections. Our machining capabilities ensure a perfect fit to your shaft, eliminating the need for adapters or modifications in the field.
For washdown environments, we machine pulleys from stainless steel. For weight-critical applications, we offer high-strength aluminum alloys. For corrosive or food-grade environments, engineering plastics are also available upon request.
KTD Poly-V pulleys are trusted by engineers across a wide range of industries where compact, high-efficiency power transmission is essential.
A Poly-V drive is only as reliable as its pulleys. Poorly machined groove geometry is the root cause of most V-ribbed belt failures. Here is how KTD engineers each pulley to prevent the most common problems.
Mismatched groove geometry forces the belt to ride on groove tips rather than flanks, causing noise, slippage, and accelerated wear.
Squealing is caused by groove geometry that does not match the belt profile, forcing the belt to ride on the groove tips rather than the flanks. KTD machines all grooves to the exact ISO 9982 pitch and angle, ensuring full flank contact and eliminating the root cause of slip and noise.
Rough or poorly finished groove surfaces act as an abrasive against the belt's rubber compound, dramatically shortening service intervals and increasing replacement costs.
Rough groove surfaces act as an abrasive on the belt's rubber compound, dramatically shortening belt life. Our finishing process produces a smooth, consistent groove surface that minimizes friction and allows the belt to run cool, extending service intervals significantly.
Even minor pulley imbalance generates destructive centrifugal forces at high belt speeds, leading to excessive vibration, bearing failure, and unplanned downtime.
An unbalanced pulley generates centrifugal forces that increase with the square of rotational speed. At the belt speeds common in Poly-V drives — up to 60 m/s — even small imbalances cause destructive vibration. KTD's mandatory dynamic balancing process ensures every pulley runs true, protecting your bearings and the entire drive system.

These profiles differ in rib pitch (the center-to-center distance between ribs) and are designed for different power and speed requirements. PH (1.6mm pitch) is the smallest, used in compact, low-power applications. PJ (2.36mm) and PK (3.56mm) are the most common for appliances and automotive drives. PL (4.7mm) and PM are used for higher-power industrial applications. All profiles share the same 40° groove angle per ISO 9982.
Yes. Please provide the belt profile (e.g., PK), the number of ribs, the required effective diameter, and your shaft bore specifications (diameter, keyway size, or taper lock designation). Our engineering team will confirm compatibility and provide a detailed quotation.
KTD Poly-V pulleys are designed and balanced for belt speeds up to 60 m/s, which covers the full operational range of standard multi-ribbed belt drives. For applications exceeding this speed, please contact us to discuss special balancing and material requirements.
