2. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_(mechanical)

   The belt also tends to wedge into the groove as the load increases—the greater the load, the greater the wedging action—improving torque transmission and making the V-belt an effective solution, needing less width and tension than flat belts. V-belts trump flat belts with their small center distances and high reduction ratios.

A tensioner is a device that applies a force to create or maintain tension. The force may be applied parallel to, as in the case of a hydraulic bolt tensioner, or perpendicular to, as in the case of a spring ...

5. Gates Corporation - Wikipedia

   It replaced the hemp and rope belt used on automobiles and industrial machinery at the time, and was a model for the common serpentine belt. The belt's success propelled the company to become the largest manufacturer of V-belts, a title it still holds. [2] [3] In 1919, the International Rubber Company changed its name to the Gates Rubber Company.

6. Belt friction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_friction

   Belt friction is a term describing the friction forces between a belt and a surface, such as a belt wrapped around a bollard.When a force applies a tension to one end of a belt or rope wrapped around a curved surface, the frictional force between the two surfaces increases with the amount of wrap about the curved surface, and only part of that force (or resultant belt tension) is transmitted ...

8. Capstan equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capstan_equation

   A flat belt has an effective angle of =. The material of a V-belt or multi-V serpentine belt tends to wedge into the mating groove in a pulley as the load increases, improving torque transmission. [6] For the same power transmission, a V-belt requires less tension than a flat belt, increasing bearing life. [5]
