What Are V-Belts?

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.

Common Signs of Engine Belt Problems

Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the vulnerabilities of global supply chains, leading to a resurgence of interest in domestic manufacturing. As businesses reevaluate their supply chain strategies, there is an increasing push to bring production back to the United States. This trend has been referred to as reshoring, and it presents a significant opportunity for the manufacturing belt to reclaim its status as a vital player in the global economy.
