The versatility of flat belt rubber is evident in its wide range of applications, spanning from automotive and food processing to packaging and textiles. In the automotive industry, flat belts are commonly used in engines to transfer power from the crankshaft to various components, such as the alternator and water pump. These belts are often engineered to withstand extreme conditions, including high temperatures and constant friction.

What is a Timing Belt?

Conclusion

A V-belt is a type of flexible belt used in various mechanical devices to transfer energy between the motor and the moving parts of a machine. Named for its trapezoidal cross-section, a V-belt fits snugly into grooved pulleys to ensure efficient power transmission. In washing machines, V-belts connect the motor to the wash drum, enabling it to spin, agitate, and rinse clothes effectively. Without a properly functioning V-belt, the washing machine would fail to operate efficiently, leading to potential operational issues.
