V-belt drives feature a belt with a trapezoidal cross-section that fits snugly into the grooves of the pulleys. This design significantly increases the friction between the belt and the pulleys, reducing the chances of slippage and allowing for the transmission of higher power loads. The compactness of V-belts enables them to fit into tighter spaces, making them ideal for applications where space is a constraint.
