Description
Browning 3R5V103 3-Groove 5V Gripbelt Split Taper Sheave OD 10.3" R1 Bushing
The Browning 3R5V103 is a 3-groove split taper sheave from Browning's Gripbelt line, designed for use with 5V cross-section V-belts. It features a 10.3-inch outer diameter and accepts an R1 split taper bushing (sold separately) to accommodate the shaft bore. Split taper sheaves use a precision-machined, two-piece tapered bushing system that allows the sheave to be mounted and removed without disturbing adjacent components — a significant advantage in tight drive assemblies.

Applications
Split taper sheaves like the Browning 3R5V103 are a standard component in industrial V-belt drive systems, used to transmit rotary power between shafts in motors, fans, blowers, compressors, pumps, conveyors, and HVAC equipment. The 5V belt section is a wedge-profile standard suited for higher-torque, moderate-to-high-speed drives — common in industrial motors ranging from roughly 5 HP and up. The Gripbelt series has long been used in manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and mechanical utility systems where positive-engagement belt drives are preferred over chain or direct coupling in certain load and alignment conditions. The split taper bushing interface makes field installation and sheave replacement straightforward, which is why this design has remained a workhorse in industrial power transmission for decades. Browning, a brand of Regal Beloit (now Regal Rexnord), is one of the most widely recognized names in V-belt sheaves and pulleys in the North American market.
This Browning 3R5V103 3-groove Gripbelt split taper sheave is new and unused but has been stored in an open box and shows signs of surface weathering — light oxidation and discoloration consistent with long-term shelf or warehouse storage. The sheave itself has not been installed or run. The original Browning box is present. The R1 split taper bushing is not included and must be sourced separately.

Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
