2. Serpentine belt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpentine_belt

   Serpentine belt (foreground) and dual vee belt (background) on a bus engine Belt tensioner providing pressure against the back of a serpentine belt in an automobile engine. A serpentine belt (or drive belt [1]) is a single, continuous belt used to drive multiple peripheral devices in an automotive engine, such as an alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, air ...

3. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

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

   Leather drive belts were put to another use during the Rhodesian Bush War (1964–1979): To protect riders of cars and busses from land mines, layers of leather belt drives were placed on the floors of vehicles in danger zones. Today most belt drives are made of rubber or synthetic polymers.

4. Toothed belt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothed_belt

   Supercharger drive belt in a dragster. A toothed belt, timing belt, cogged belt, cog belt, or synchronous belt is a flexible belt with teeth moulded onto its inner surface. Toothed belts are usually designed to run over matching toothed pulleys or sprockets. Toothed belts are used in a wide array of mechanical devices where high power ...

5. Drivetrain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drivetrain

   The function of the drivetrain is to couple the engine that produces the power to the driving wheels that use this mechanical power to rotate the axle. This connection involves physically linking the two components, which may be at opposite ends of the vehicle and so requiring a long propeller shaft or drive shaft .

6. Pulley - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulley

   Flat belt on a belt pulley Belt and pulley system Cone pulley driven from above by a line shaft. A belt and pulley system is characterized by two or more pulleys in common to a belt. This allows for mechanical power, torque, and speed to be transmitted across axles. If the pulleys are of differing diameters, a mechanical advantage is realized.

7. Drive shaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_shaft

   A drive shaft connecting a rear differential to a rear wheel may be called a half-shaft. The name derives from the fact that two such shafts are required to form one rear axle. Early automobiles often used chain drive or belt drive mechanisms rather than a drive shaft. Some used electrical generators and motors to transmit power to the wheels.

9. Timing belt (camshaft) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_belt_(camshaft)

   The crankshaft drives the camshaft (via a timing belt, timing chain or gears), which in turn actuates the intake and exhaust valves. [1] These valves allow the engine to inhale air (or an air/fuel mixture) and exhale the exhaust gasses. [2] The most common devices to transfer the drive are toothed rubber belts, metal timing chains or a set of ...
