The 5PJ is a PJ-profile Poly V belt featuring five longitudinal ribs. Its fine-pitch and flexible construction is well suited to compact transmission layouts where the belt must run smoothly around relatively small pulleys, such as printers, printing equipment and other precision mechanical drive systems.
The PJ profile uses a reference rib pitch of 2.34 mm, an approximate belt height of 4 mm and a 40° rib angle. Low-stretch tensile reinforcement helps maintain dimensional stability, while the five-rib working surface provides consistent contact with matching PJ pulley grooves.

Suitable for printers, printing machinery, office equipment and other compact mechanical transmission systems requiring a 5PJ configuration. The complete effective length, pulley dimensions and equipment specification should be confirmed before ordering.
The SINOCONVE 5PJ Poly V belt is designed for transmission systems where compact dimensions, smooth running and flexible belt movement are important. Five narrow longitudinal ribs work with matching PJ pulley grooves, allowing the belt to transmit motion efficiently without requiring the larger cross section of a conventional V-belt.
This makes the 5PJ configuration particularly useful in printers, printing machines, office equipment and other compact mechanical systems where pulley diameters and available installation space may be relatively limited.

PJ is a finer Poly V profile than PK. Its smaller rib pitch and thinner cross section allow the belt to bend more readily around compact pulleys, which is useful in equipment where the transmission system must fit inside a relatively small housing.
| Small Pulley Compatibility Fine PJ geometry supports drive layouts using relatively compact pulley diameters. |
Flexible Running The thin belt section follows repeated bends through compact mechanical paths. |
Multiple Contact Ribs Five longitudinal ribs provide several working contact lines with the pulley. |
Printing and paper-handling equipment often contains several synchronized rotating components. Depending on machine design, belts may be used to transmit motion to rollers, shafts, fans or other internal mechanisms.
In this type of application, belt selection should consider more than nominal size. Stable dimensions and correct pulley matching help maintain consistent transmission behavior over long operating cycles.
In printing-related machinery, irregular transmission can affect more than the belt itself. Excessive vibration, incorrect tension or unstable tracking may influence rollers, bearings and other driven components.
The 5PJ construction is intended to provide flexible and stable frictional transmission when installed on correctly aligned PJ pulleys.
Correct pulley geometry helps maintain uniform rib engagement.
Proper tension reduces the risk of slip or excessive bearing load.
Stable belt dimensions support consistent mechanical transmission.
| Belt Element | Role |
|---|---|
| Tensile Cord | Carries transmission tension and helps limit unwanted belt elongation. |
| Rubber Body | Provides flexibility and protects the internal tensile structure. |
| Five PJ Ribs | Work with matching pulley grooves to transmit drive force across five contact lines. |
| Belt Back | Protects the belt structure and provides the opposite running surface where required. |
PJ and PK both belong to the Poly V belt family, but their cross-sectional dimensions differ. The same rib count does not make them interchangeable.
| Parameter | PJ | PK |
|---|---|---|
| Rib Pitch | 2.34 mm | 3.56 mm |
| Approx. Height | 4 mm | 6 mm |
| Typical Characteristic | Fine pitch, thin and flexible | Larger pitch and section |
Always match the belt to the corresponding pulley profile rather than selecting only by rib number.
The marking 5PJ only identifies the rib count and PJ profile. A complete replacement specification must also include the required effective length.
For printer manufacturers, machinery suppliers, maintenance companies and belt distributors, different PJ belt lengths and labeling requirements can be reviewed according to the purchasing specification.

SINOCONVE supplies different PJ rib counts and effective lengths for compact machinery, automotive systems and industrial power transmission. View the complete Poly V Ribbed Belt Product Range for additional specifications.
5PJ means the belt has five longitudinal ribs and uses the PJ Poly V profile. It does not indicate the effective belt length.
The fine rib pitch and relatively thin cross section provide good flexibility, which can be useful for drive systems using smaller pulleys and limited installation space.
No. PJ and PK have different rib pitches and cross-sectional dimensions. The belt must match the pulley profile specified by the equipment manufacturer.
The effective length is required to define the complete belt specification. Providing the original belt marking is the preferred method for replacement identification.
Different effective lengths, marking and packaging requirements can be reviewed according to the requested specification and order quantity.
Send the original belt marking, effective length, printer or machine model and required quantity for specification confirmation.
