Advantages of V-belt Drive
over Flat Belt Drive
 The V-belt drive gives compactness due to the small
distance between centres of pulleys.
 The drive is positive, because the slip between the belt
and the pulley groove is negligible.
 Since the V-belts are made endless and there is no joint
trouble, therefore the drive is smooth.
 It provides longer life, 3 to 5 years.
 It can be easily installed and removed.
 The operation of the belt and pulley is quiet.
 The belts have the ability to cushion the shock when
machines are started.
Advantages of V-belt Drive
over Flat Belt Drive
 The high velocity ratio (maximum 10) may be
obtained.
 The wedging action of the belt in the groove gives
high value of limiting *ratio of tensions. Therefore
the power transmitted by V-belts is more than flat
belts for the same coefficient of friction, arc of
contact and allowable tension in the belts.
 The V-belt may be operated in either direction, with
tight side of the belt at the top or bottom. The
centre line may be horizontal, vertical or inclined.
Disadvantages of V-belt Drive
over Flat Belt Drive
 The V-belt drive can not be used with large centre
distances, because of larger weight per unit length.
 The V-belts are not so durable as flat belts.
 The construction of pulleys for V-belts is more
complicated than pulleys of flat belts.
 Since the V-belts are subjected to certain amount of
creep, therefore these are not suitable for constant
speed applications such as synchronous machines
and timing devices.
Disadvantages of V-belt Drive
over Flat Belt Drive
 The belt life is greatly influenced with
temperature changes, improper belt tension and
mismatching of belt lengths.
 The centrifugal tension prevents the use of V-
belts at speeds below 5 m/s and above 50 m/s.
Ratio of Driving Tensions for V-
belt
V-flat Drives
 A flat belt is replaced by V-belt  It is
economical to use flat-faced pulley, instead of
large grooved pulley
 The cost of cutting the grooves is thereby
eliminated
 Such a drive is known as V-flat drive
