A variable belt drive is a mechanical system that uses belts and pulleys to transfer power while allowing for variable speed and torque adjustments. Unlike traditional fixed-speed belt drives, variable belt drives can dynamically change the tension and length of the belt, enabling seamless transitions in speed. This adaptability makes them particularly useful in applications where load variations are frequent, such as in automotive transmissions, conveyor systems, and industrial machinery.

A serpentine belt is a single, continuous belt that connects multiple engine components, including the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and air conditioning compressor. The term serpentine refers to the belt's long, winding path around several pulleys, which makes it a crucial component for transmitting power. Unlike older vehicles that often utilized multiple belts for various systems, modern cars predominantly rely on the serpentine belt for a more streamlined design.
