V-Belt, Kinney KT500 – Part # 051120

The job of the V-belt is simple but important. It transfers power from the motor to the pump . The pump needs this power to spin its internal parts and create vacuum.

Here is how it works:

• The motor spins its pulley

• The V-belt grips the motor pulley

• The belt turns the pump pulley

• The pump shaft spins

• The pump creates vacuum

If the belt is worn or loose, it slips. The pump does not spin as fast as it should. Your vacuum pressure drops.

This V-belt is made for two specific Kinney pump models:

• Kinney KT500C

• Kinney KT500D

The KT500 series are single-stage, triplex rotary piston pumps . “Triplex” means they have three pistons. These are big, industrial-grade pumps. You will find them in tough applications like transformer oil drying, heat treating, coating, and metallurgy .

These pumps are built to last. Kinney offers a 30-month warranty on them . But even the best pumps need new belts sometimes.
