INTRODUCTION
V-Belts are a type of industrial belt that is
used in a broad range of industries, one of which
you may be a part of. Keep in mind that these
belts are intended for power transmission in a
variety of industries, but they are a relatively
new phenomenon that was invented several decades
ago. You might be pleasantly surprised to hear
that these belts were mentioned in an old journal
in 1916 for automobiles. A year later, John Gates
invented the endless rubber, about which you will
read more.

Why Are V-Belts Used?
Flat belts were used prior to V-belts. It may
interest you to know that flat belts were a
simple system for power transmission in the past.
They could deliver enormous power at high speeds,
but because of their wider form, huge pulleys
were required, which consumed enormous space and
required high tension, resulting in high loads.
As a result, V-belts were developed to replace
them, as seen in short-distance power
transmissions. You may be wondering what the
letter 'V' has to do with this belt category.

The 'V' Shape
You'll be pleasantly surprised to know that these
belts are usually infinite, and their general
cross-section shape is trapezoidal, hence the
name 'V.' To ensure that the belt does not slip
out, look for the 'V' shape of the belt that
tracks in a matching groove within the sheave (or
pulley). It's also worth noting that as the load
increases, this belting tends to wedge within the
groove. In this case, the greater the load, the
greater the wedging action, which improves torque
transmission, and thus V-Beltings can be the
ideal solution for your power transmission system.

The Usability
After gaining knowledge about the past and the
introduction of V-Belts, you now must understand
their functionality, which will lead you to their
current state. Always keep in mind that V-belts
are located on the engine side of a power
transmission system. These beltings are typically
configured as a series of belts that run off the
crankshaft. Furthermore, V-Belts and their pulley
system can take the torque (or force) generated
by crankshaft rotation and use it to drive
ancillary components within the engine such as
the alternator, water pump, and power steering
pump. Observing such functionality reveals that
V-Belts, along with their complementary pulley,
play an important role in the overall vehicle
(system) operations.

Examining The Present
After you've gone over the functionality
described above, keep in mind the common
applications of V-belts to understand their
current value. These beltings are widely used in
industry as well as agricultural machinery. You
can use these beltings for any system, from large
tractors to production equipment, depending on
your needs. These products will undoubtedly be an
important component for you in the manufacturing
industry!

The Future Thereafter
The future of V-Belts isn't as dismal as some
skeptics may have you believe after reading
numerous online articles. Although serpentine
belts and other beltings have become popular in
the twenty-first century, there is no reason to
dismiss these durable and widely used belts.
These beltings have and will continue to transmit
power with accuracy in your and other industries.
Proper maintenance and timely replacements can
allow V-Belts to perform magnificently for your
machinery in whatever business you are in!
