poly v belt types

A belt and pulley system consists of a loop of flexible material—the belt—wrapped around a series of pulleys. The pulleys are connected to different components of a machine. When one pulley rotates, the belt transmits this rotational motion to other pulleys, which can drive different machines or parts of a machine. The speed of the driven pulley (output) in relation to the driving pulley (input) can be adjusted based on the size and configuration of the pulleys.

V-belts serve multiple purposes within a vehicle. Primarily, they are used to connect the engine's crankshaft to the accessories and systems that require mechanical power. This connection allows different components such as the water pump, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor to receive the necessary energy from the engine. The design of the V-belt ensures effective power transmission while minimizing slippage, which can lead to inefficiencies and increased wear.
