Description
Both Vee belts and Flat Belts can be ribbed along their underside to improve contact with the pulleys but the most positive form of belt drive is provided using a Toothed Belt Drive.
Features and Applications
Toothed or Ribbed belts are also known as Timing Belts because of their common use in modern car and truck engines for this purpose.
They have corrugations moulded on to their underside which mate with corresponding grooves across the pulleys. If properly fitted and tensioned they do not slip and can be used as a quieter alternative to a Chain and Sprocket Drive.
