machine belt

The primary purpose of the V-ribbed belt is to transmit power from the engine’s crankshaft to various components, including the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. This versatility makes it a staple in modern automotive design. One significant advantage of a V-ribbed belt lies in its ability to drive multiple accessories from a single belt system, thus simplifying engine layouts and reducing overall weight compared to multiple individual belts.

A V-belt is a type of Flexible Power Transmission Belt, characterized by its trapezoidal cross-section. This specific shape allows the belt to fit snugly into the grooves of a pulley, leading to enhanced friction and increased power transmission capabilities. V-belts come in various sizes and materials, including rubber and synthetic compounds, allowing them to handle different loads and environments. They are typically used in applications requiring a compact design and effective energy transfer.
