A V-belt drive consists of a belt shaped like a trapezoid, which fits into corresponding grooves on the pulleys. The design allows for a snug fit, ensuring that power is effectively transferred from one component to another. V-belts are typically made of high-strength materials such as rubber or neoprene, infused with fabric and steel to enhance durability and flexibility. The belts come in various sizes and configurations, allowing them to be tailored to specific machinery and operational requirements.
