Multi-Rib Power Transmission

Poly-V Pulleys for Slip-Free Accessory Drives

Precision multi-groove Poly-V (PK profile) pulleys, formed and machined to maximize belt contact area, reduce noise, and eliminate slip across automotive and industrial accessory drives.

Multiple Ribs, One Continuous Belt

A Poly-V (also called multi-rib or micro-V) pulley carries several narrow, parallel V-shaped grooves across a single wide belt, instead of one deep groove per belt as on a conventional V-belt pulley. The larger combined contact area lets one continuous serpentine belt drive several accessories — alternator, power steering pump, A/C compressor, water pump — off a single crankshaft pulley, with less belt slip and a smaller overall drive package.

JBMK produces Poly-V grooves using precision fine-stamping and CNC flow-forming, holding pitch and groove-angle tolerances tight enough to keep belt wear and drive noise (NVH) within OEM limits across the full production run, not just on first-off samples.

PK / H Profile Options

Standard PK4 through PK8 rib counts, with custom rib pitch available to match your belt spec.

⚖️

Groove Angle Control

Tight profiling tolerance for even belt-load distribution across every rib.

🔄

High-Speed Stability

Balanced for accessory-drive speeds up to 18,000 RPM without induced vibration.
