V-Belt Drives selection standards and Use standards

Fatigue is the common cause of most V-Belt problems. Wear is usually a result from the belt loosing tension and “rolling” around the pulleys. High belt anxiety, immoderate slippage, unfavorable environmental conditions, and overloads caused by shock, vibration, all make contributions to fatigue. 

V-Belt

The transmission in belt force is a result of friction between the belt and pulleys. But, some relative movement will continually exist at driving force-belt interface and belt-driven pulley interface because of ineffective friction. 

Vee-Belt

This phenomenon is called as slip the V-Belt. Because of slip, its speed will be much less than the peripheral speed of the using wheel and slightly more than the peripheral velocity of the driven wheel.
