BELT DRIVE

Belt Drives are widely used in many industries for power transmission. Since they are cheap and easy to maintain. However they are often a source of vibration due to misalignments, belt resonance, and belt wear.

The main purpose of belt drives is to transfer power between machines such as motor and fan. They are subject to rotary and push-pull motions with varying dynamic characteristics. Belts are friction drives, which mean they depend on friction between the belt and pulley/sheave to transmit power.
