The ribbed belt is characterized by its ribbed surface that runs longitudinally along its length. This design offers several advantages over traditional V-belts. Firstly, its large surface area increases the contact with the pulleys, reducing the likelihood of slippage. This is particularly important in high-performance applications where precise timing and power delivery are critical. Additionally, the ribs allow for better flexibility and adaptability to different pulley sizes and arrangements, enabling the belt to bend and flex without losing efficiency.

Despite its advantages, the negative consequences of oil consumption are becoming increasingly evident. The combustion of fossil fuels, like oil, contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, leading to climate change. Spills and leaks threaten marine life and ecosystems, while the extraction process can devastate landscapes, particularly in sensitive areas such as the Arctic and deep-sea environments. Furthermore, geopolitical tensions often arise from oil dependency, as nations vie for control over natural resources.

A V-belt is a type of belt that features a trapezoidal cross-section, resembling the shape of the letter V. This design allows the belt to fit snugly into the grooved pulleys that are typically used in machinery. By converging toward the center, V-belts increase the friction between the belt and the pulley, allowing for more torque transmission without slippage. They are engineered to effectively transfer power from one or more driving pulleys to driven pulleys in machinery, helping to drive the desired loads efficiently.
