BeltDrives Review
In power transmissions, use of belts, simplify the machine design
and reduce the cost.
Is far more economical than buying a motor to run at the speed
required by the driven equipment.
Due to flexibility, it can absorb a good amount of shock and
vibration.
It can take care of some degree of misalignment between the
driven and the driver machines and long distance power
transmission.

VBelts:Advantages

Transmit greater amount of power with higher velocity ratio.

Usually made of cotton, ryon or nylon impregnated with rubber.

A single Vbelts is less efficient than a flat belt due to the wedging action
b/w belt and pulley (high friction), but multiple vbelts can be used to
transmit higher power.

Vbelts are longer in life due to seamless design (no joint).

Vbelts are used for short center distance, i.e. compactness.

Vbelts are manufactured in standard lengths.

VBelts:Limitations
Vbelts cannot be used with large center distance.
Vbelts pulleys are complicated in design and hence expensive.
Not suitable for constant speed applications due to creep.
Less durable than the flat belts.
Speed limit of vbelt drives are between 5 to 50m/s due to the
design of groove in pulley.

VBelts
Pitch length is defined as the circumferential length of the belt
at the pitch width of the belt (width at the neutral axis).
The value of pitch width remains same for any type of the belt.

TimingBelts
It is made of rubberized
fabric coated with a nylon
fabric, and has steel wire
within to take the tension
load.
It has teeth that fit into
grooves cut on the
periphery of the pulleys
No slip and negligible
stretch.
Can be used with wide variety of speed.
Higher efficiency (9799%)
Five standard types are available according to the applications.
