Is a B52 V-Belt the same as a 5B V-Belt
 

My Sheldon lathe takes a B52 V-Belt. I have some Fenner Power Twist
Belts on it now that covers the 5B belt profile. I have been getting
some heating of the pulley sheaves and this could be the cause. What is
a B52 V-Belt? Any advise greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve

B indicates the cross section shape of the belt and 52 is the length in
inches at the pitch depth of the circumference of the belt.
There are AB&C sections as well as a number of others such as SPZ ( a much
smaller section)

Are you sure the Fenner belt isn't 5V? The 5V profile is close in size
to the B profile, but not interchangeable.
