drive belt and timing belt

Poly V-belts, also known as ribbed belts or multi-rib belts, feature multiple ribs along their length, which increases the surface area in contact with the pulley. This design allows for higher torque transmission compared to traditional V-belts, making them ideal for compact applications where space is limited. Poly V-belts excel in environments demanding high-speed operations and have become a staple in automotive engines, household appliances, and industrial machinery.

3. Fabric-reinforced Materials Flat belts may also be constructed from fabric-reinforced materials, typically combining textiles with rubber or polyurethane layers. This reinforcement provides additional strength and flexibility while still allowing for a lightweight design. Fabrics like polyester or cotton are often used, and the choice of fabric can significantly affect the belt's performance characteristics, such as its ability to handle loads and resist wear.
