The serpentine belt is a long, continuous belt that drives multiple peripheral devices in an automobile's engine. Unlike older vehicles that utilized multiple belts for different components, the serpentine design streamlines the operation by incorporating a single belt to drive the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, and sometimes even the radiator fan. This simplified design not only reduces the overall weight of the engine but also minimizes the noise and vibration associated with multiple belts.

Small rubber belts are flexible loops made primarily from rubber or rubber-like materials. They are designed to connect and transmit power between different parts of a machine. These belts can vary in size, shape, and composition, depending on their specific applications. They are typically employed in applications where torque transfer and flexibility are required, making them ideal for systems where parts need to move in conjunction with each other.
