Flat belt drives consist of a simple flat belt that runs on pulleys. This design allows for a smooth and flexible operation, making it possible to transmit power over long distances. Flat belts are typically made from materials such as rubber, fabric, or leather, and they rely on friction to transfer motion from the driving pulley to the driven pulley. The key advantages of flat belt drives include their ability to operate at high speeds and the capacity to handle light loads efficiently.
