Solution
1. A belt is a flexible Connector that transmit motion and power by friction.
2. The common belt types are flat belts and V - Belts.
3. The popular V-belts are the standart and Narrow V-belts.
4. Special belts include V-tooth(ribbed) and timing or synchronous belts.
5. Belts are used at High spped and low to moderate power transmission.
6. Satic balancing of pulley is recommended for speed between 5 and 20 m/s.\\
7. Dynamic balancing of pulley is recommended for belt speed above 20 m/s.
8. Leather is the most common material for Power Transmission Belts.
9. Standard Conveyor Belts are made of reinforced rubber.
10. In V-belt design , correction factor are applied to small pulley angle wrap and belt length.
11. Common configuration in belt design include groove angle of sheave - andcrossed belt drives.
12. Friction forces affect power transmission capacity of belt drives.
13. Flat belt drives require Larger center diatances then the V-Belt drives.
14. Narrow V-Belts require smaller pulley sizes the standard V-belts.
15. Flat belt on Pulley can accomodate slight misalignment in shaft.
16. Belt drive can break when overload , preventing serious damages.
17. Belts in general may be affected by moisture and acids.
18. Guards are often used for protection around belt drives.
19. Never touch a rotating belts.
20. Over time , belts drives need re - tensioning to compensate for Power Loss ( Slip ).
