Volex ForgeParts › V-Belt Pulley CAD Generator

Generate a V-belt pulley

A grooved wheel that drives a V-belt. The wedge-shaped groove multiplies the friction between belt and pulley, letting a V-belt transmit far more power than a flat belt of the same tension.

What it is used for

Dimensions that matter

Outside diameterWith the driven pulley, sets the speed ratio.
Face widthWide enough for the belt section.
BoreShaft fit — add a keyway for torque.
Speed ratio = driving diameter ÷ driven diameter. Both pulleys in a drive must use the same belt profile.

What you get

A real solid model you can rotate and measure, plus downloadable STEP (machining and CAD), STL and 3MF (3D printing) and DXF (laser and waterjet) files. Optional built-in analysis covers stress (FEA), thermal, buckling, cost and manufacturability.

Before you see it, the built geometry is measured against the dimensions you stated, checked as a valid watertight solid, and — for assemblies — checked for interference. These are geometry and physics checks; they do not confirm the shape matches what you pictured, so review the 3D view or 2D drawing before relying on the part.

Previewing is free. Downloading is £2.99 per part, or unlimited on Pro (£29/month, £290/year).

Common questions

What file formats do I get?
STEP, STL, 3MF and DXF — the formats CNC shops, laser cutters and 3D printers accept.

Can I change the dimensions afterwards?
Yes. Edit the numbers directly, or describe the change in plain English. Every edit is rebuilt and re-checked.

Do I need CAD experience?
No. Describe the part and its sizes in millimetres.

Is it free to try?
Yes — describing a part and viewing the 3D preview costs nothing.
