v-belt

V-belts are belts with a trapezoidal cross-section. Like other types of belts, they are used to transmit power or torque from the driving component to the driving component. Their design facilitates gripping onto the roller components (i.e., pulleys) during operation, decreasing the risk of slippage and increasing the consistency of the system’s output. When designing and selecting a V-belt for a system, there are numerous factors to consider ensuring the chosen component demonstrates the correct performance characteristics. Some of the key considerations to keep in mind include:
