Introduction
In drives using V-belts, the dimensions of the pulley grooves can be defined either on the basis of the
datum width or on the basis of the effective width. As a result, two systems for definition and description
of the dimensions of pulleys and belts have been developed. The two systems are independent of each
other.
For the geometrical inspection of grooves defined on the basis of the datum width, necessary tests
to ensure by mechanical means the conformity of a grooved pulley with standard specifications were
specified, but modern quick or serial checking procedures for grooved pulley production control were
not.
For user clarification, the interaction of this document with other relevant documents developed by
ISO/TC 41/SC 1 and ISO/TC 213 “Dimensional and geometrical product specifications and verification”
is given in Figure 1.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes
nationaux de normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est
en général confiée aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude
a le droit de faire partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales,
gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux.
L'ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission électrotechnique internationale (IEC) en ce qui
concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les procédures utilisées pour élaborer le présent document et celles destinées à sa mise à jour sont
décrites dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 1. Il convient, en particulier, de prendre note des différents
critères d'approbation requis pour les différents types de documents ISO. Le présent document a
été rédigé conformément aux règles de rédaction données dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2 (voir
www.iso.org/directives).
L'attention est attirée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de
droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable

les références aux droits de propriété intellectuelle ou autres droits analogues identifiés lors de
l'élaboration du document sont indiqués dans l'Introduction et/ou dans la liste des déclarations de
brevets reçues par l'ISO (voir www.iso.org/brevets).
Les appellations commerciales éventuellement mentionnées dans le présent document sont données
pour information, par souci de commodité, à l’intention des utilisateurs et ne sauraient constituer un
engagement.

spécifiques de l'ISO liés à l'évaluation de la conformité, ou pour toute information au sujet de l'adhésion
de l'ISO aux principes de l’Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC) concernant les obstacles
techniques au commerce (OTC), voir www.iso.org/avant-propos.
Le présent document a été élaboré par le comité technique ISO/TC 41, Poulies et courroies (y compris les
courroies trapézoïdales), sous-comité SC 1, Courroies de transmission par friction.
Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la seconde édition (ISO 255:1990), qui a fait l’objet d’une
révision technique.
Les principales modifications sont les suivantes:
— la liste des références normatives a été mise à jour, y compris l'ajout de l’ISO 1081 (vocabulaire);
— dans l'Article 2 et la Bibliographie, les références normatives ne sont plus datées;
— des modifications ont été apportées à des fins de clarification et pour être en conformité avec les
règles de rédaction de l'ISO.

Introduction
Dans les transmissions par courroies trapézoïdales, les dimensions des gorges de poulies peuvent être
définies soit sur la base de la largeur de référence, soit sur la base de la largeur effective. En conséquence,
deux systèmes pour la définition et la description des dimensions des poulies et des courroies ont été
développés. Les deux systèmes sont indépendants l'un de l'autre.
Pour le contrôle géométrique des gorges définies sur la base de la largeur de référence, des essais
nécessaires pour garantir à l'aide de moyens mécaniques la conformité d'une poulie à gorges par
rapport aux spécifications normalisées ont été spécifiés, alors que les procédures modernes de contrôle
rapide ou pour le contrôle en cours de production des poulies à gorges ne le sont pas.
Pour la bonne compréhension de l'utilisateur, l'interaction du présent document avec d'autres
documents pertinents élaborés par l'ISO/TC 41/SC 1 et l'ISO/TC 213 "Spécifications et vérification
dimensionnelles et géométriques des produits" est indiquée à la Figure 1.
