4. Custom Synchronous Belts For unique applications, manufacturers can produce custom belts tailored to specific dimensions and operational requirements, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

While V ribbed belts are commonly associated with automotive applications, they are also widely used in industrial machinery. In factories, these belts drive various equipment, including conveyor systems and pumps. Their ability to operate quietly and efficiently makes them ideal in settings where noise reduction is a priority. Moreover, their designs can accommodate significant loads, further enhancing their versatility across different sectors.

- Squeaking or Squealing Noises If you hear a high-pitched noise coming from the engine compartment, particularly when the vehicle starts or accelerates, it could be a sign that your V-belt is slipping.

2. Flat Belts Flat belts are another traditional type that consists of a simple, flat strip of material. They are typically made from leather, rubber, or synthetic materials. Flat belts are generally used in applications where the shafts are spaced far apart, such as in conveyor systems and certain agricultural machinery. They are less efficient than V-belts in terms of power transfer, but their design allows for easier replacement and maintenance.
