V-belt systems come in different configurations—typically, a single belt can power multiple pulleys, creating a more compact and efficient power distribution system. The arrangement can also influence the speed and torque of the driven components. By altering the diameter of the pulleys or using belts of different lengths, engineers can effectively adjust the output speed to meet the requirements of different machines.

5. Retail vs. Wholesale Pricing The purchasing method influences price as well. Buying drive belts at retail prices from auto parts stores typically costs more than purchasing in bulk from wholesalers or directly from manufacturers. Auto repair shops often get discounts on bulk purchases, allowing them to pass on savings to customers.
