Unraveling the Hiking Popularity of Drive Belt
A Drive Belt, also referred to as the serpentine
belt, alternator belt, or the fan belt, is the
rubber-based belt that powers the accessories of
an engine. It is a looped strip that strings
together two or more rotating shafts
mechanically. These belts offer a smooth
transfer of power within the shafts to track
relative motion. Their primary application is to
transmit power from one shaft to another through
pulleys.

Power Transmission Through Drive Belts
Drive belts in the UAE are friction-locked. This
means that the transfer of power between the
pulley and the belt takes place through friction.
While using the technique of friction locking in
power transmission, keep in mind that the belts
are hard-pressed against the pulley. This will
ensure that the friction force is enough to
forestall the strap from sliding away.

Popularity of Different Types of Drive Belts

• Open Drive Belts

Open drive belts are those drive belts that
rotate in the same direction. It is one of the
most basic setups consisting of an idler pulley
between the drive belt and the main lift. The
function of the idler pulley is to tighten the
belt. This is one of the most common
installations of drive belts. It is used when we
need to rotate the driving pulley in the
direction of the driven pulley.

• Crossed Drive Belts

In the crossed drive belts, belts are connected
in such a way that they cross each other. Here,
the driven pulley and the driving pulley have
opposite directions. It is mainly used to reverse
the course of the driven pulley.

• Turned Drive Belts

The third category of the belts is the turned
drive belt. It is used where the two shafts are
perpendicular to each other. If the alignment
between two poles turns out to be 90, then,
basically, we use this category of drive belts.

Cons of Drive Belts

• Heating occurs between the belts, thereby
  leading to overheating and less efficiency.
• The speed transfer and the power transfer is
  usually limited to 35 m/s and 370 kW.
