flat drive belts

A V-belt is a type of belt that features a trapezoidal cross-section, resembling the shape of the letter V. This design allows the belt to fit snugly into the grooved pulleys that are typically used in machinery. By converging toward the center, V-belts increase the friction between the belt and the pulley, allowing for more torque transmission without slippage. They are engineered to effectively transfer power from one or more driving pulleys to driven pulleys in machinery, helping to drive the desired loads efficiently.
