Disadvantages of V Belts

The advantages of variable belt drives extend beyond their adaptability. They offer reduced noise levels and lower maintenance costs compared to traditional gear systems. The absence of gears means fewer moving parts, which can lead to improved reliability and a longer operational life.

There are mainly two types of belts in a vehicle the serpentine belt and the timing belt.
