Types of Belts
8/38
Flat Belt
is the simplest type, often made from leather of rubber
coated fabric
mostly used in the factories and workshops where a great
amount of power is to be transmitted from one pulley to
another, when the two pulleys are not more than 8 meters
apart

V-Belt
most widely used type of belt particularly in industrial drives
and vehicular application
mostly used in the factories and workshops where a great
amount of power is to be transmitted from one pulley to
another, when the two pulleys are very near each other

Belt Speeds
The tension in the belt due to centrifugal force increases
rapidly above about 2,500 fpm.
Experience suggests that the most economical designs are o
btained for a belt speed of 4,000 to 4,500 fpm.
For leather, speeds of 7,000 to 8,000 fpm are in use (but
consult the vendor).
Flat fabric belts operate up to 20,000 fpm and more.
34/38
Initial Tension
In order to transmit power, the belt must have some initial
tension (tension at rest).
35/38
Rubber Belting
Rubber belts are made in layers (say 3 to 12), which are
called plies, of canvas duck impregnated with rubber which
is later vulcanized.
According to the Goodrich Company, the permissible net
belt pull is 13.75 lb/ply per inch of width, which gives a simple
means for quick estimation.
