V-belts operate on a simple yet effective principle. As the driving pulley rotates, it creates friction against the inner side of the V-belt. This friction enables the V-belt to grip the pulley snugly, allowing it to turn the driven pulley.

The belt's flexibility allows it to adapt to various pulley sizes and configurations, making it versatile for different applications.
