Stepper motors are a fundamental component in modern engineering, widely used in applications requiring precise control of movement. Unlike traditional motors that continuously rotate, stepper motors divide a full rotation into a series of steps, allowing for accurate positioning without needing feedback from sensors. This makes them particularly valuable in robotics, CNC machines, and 3D printers, where precision is critical. One essential aspect of stepper motor systems is the use of belts, which facilitate efficient power transmission and movement control.

The primary function of the drive belt is to transfer power from the engine’s crankshaft to various accessories, enabling them to operate. For instance, when the engine runs, it rotates the crankshaft, which in turn causes the drive belt to spin. This motion activates the accessories connected to the belt. Unlike older cars that used several different belts to connect individual accessories, most modern vehicles utilize a single serpentine belt, which is more efficient and easier to replace.
