Flat belt drives use frictional engagement between the lateral wedge surfaces of the belt profile to transfer power between pulleys, resulting in large bending cross-sections, varying individual belt speeds, and large belt mass. V-belt drives use frictional engagement on the outer pulley diameter, resulting in smaller bending cross-sections, precisely defined speeds across the belt width, and smaller belt mass.
