Furthermore, if oil leaks occur due to aging seals or gaskets, the presence of oil on the belts can make them slippery. This slippage can cause the serpentine belt to lose grip, which may jeopardize the performance of the components it drives. In severe cases, it can lead to a complete failure of the belt, resulting in a breakdown or engine damage.

There are several types of V-belts designed to suit different applications. The most common types include

The quality of a dynamometer belt directly impacts the accuracy of the performance measurements. A poor-quality belt may lead to slippage, detrimental wear, and inaccurate readings, which can misguide optimization efforts in engine designs and vehicle dynamics. Therefore, automotive manufacturers and testing facilities often invest in high-grade dynamometer belts to ensure precision during testing sessions.
