o ring drive belts

V-belts are flexible loops of rubber or synthetic materials designed to transmit power from one rotating shaft to another. They are named for their trapezoidal cross-section, which allows for a secure grip on the pulleys they engage. The inherent design of V-belts enables them to maintain a high level of friction needed for effective power transmission while allowing for some slippage during overload conditions, thereby preventing damage to the machinery.
