Functional engineering application
The PIX-X'ceed Section PK (6PK-1200) Multi-Ribbed Poly-V Belt represents modern power transmission technology that combines the high power capacity of multiple V-belts with the exceptional flexibility of a thin flat belt. Manufactured by PIX Transmissions Ltd, the PIX-X'ceed series is engineered for multi-shaft serpentine drives where a single belt drives multiple accessories—such as alternators, water pumps, cooling fans, and hydraulic pumps—from a single motor pulley. Featuring 6 precision-molded longitudinal V-ribs spaced at a standardized 3.56 mm pitch across a 21.36 mm total width, the PK profile fits precisely into multi-groove Poly-V sheaves. Because the belt is thin (4.6 mm total thickness), it experiences minimal bending stress, allowing it to negotiate small pulley diameters down to 50 mm and back-bend around flat idler tensioner pulleys with high mechanical efficiency. The tension core is constructed from high-tenacity, low-stretch polyester cords embedded across the entire width of the belt. This wide cord line distributes the drive tension uniformly across all 6 ribs, eliminating the problem of individual belt turnover or uneven tension distribution found in multi-belt V-drive sets. The rubber body is formulated from an advanced synthetic elastomer blend that offers high heat resistance (-30 °C to +110 °C) and long flex life. Certified to ISO 1813 antistatic standards and operating at linear speeds up to 60 m/s, the 6PK-1200 belt provides an effective length (Le) of 1200 mm. Sourced through STARNEX Industrial Spares with nationwide courier dispatch across Kenya.
High-flexibility multi-ribbed Poly-V belt Section PK with 6 ribs and 3.56 mm pitch, engineered for serpentine auxiliary drives, generator sets, and industrial centrifuges in Kenya.

Common questions on this part
'6' denotes the number of ribs. 'PK' indicates the rib profile section with 3.56 mm pitch and 4.6 mm thickness. '1200' represents the effective length (Le) in millimeters.
Poly-V belts are molded as a single integrated band, completely eliminating individual belt turnover and uneven tension. Furthermore, their thin profile allows back-bending over idlers and operates smoothly on much smaller pulleys at higher speeds (up to 60 m/s).
Yes, provided the 6 ribs are aligned correctly in the grooves matching the driven pulleys. However, running fewer ribs than the pulley was designed for reduces total power capacity proportionally.
Squealing is usually caused by insufficient belt tension, pulley misalignment, or contamination (such as oil or coolant on the rib flanks). Inspect tension and align pulleys using a laser alignment tool or straightedge.
Yes. STARNEX supplies genuine PIX Poly-V belts in PK, PJ, and PL profiles for diesel generators (Perkins, Cummins, Caterpillar, FG Wilson) with express dispatch to facilities across Kenya.
