However, flat belts come with certain limitations. They tend to be less efficient when it comes to high-power applications due to slippage, particularly under heavy loads. The need for precise alignment of the pulleys is also critical; misalignment can lead to rapid wear and loss of efficiency. Additionally, flat belt drives are often bulkier and require more space compared to their V-belt counterparts. Despite these drawbacks, flat belt drives are still favored in industries where speed and distance are paramount, such as conveyor systems and textile manufacturing.
