This invention relates to the incorporation of fibers or fabric having a high melt characteristic placed in the body portion of power transmission belts. The fibers protrude beyond the surface of the polymer portion of the belt to contact the surface of the sheave in a manner to improve stability and increase load-life characteristics by imparting transverse support and rigidity to the tensile members. The fiber protrusions modify and stabilize the frictional characteristics of the belt on the sheave. Further, the incorporation of the fibers in the body of the belt tend to minimize noise generation. |
