The open belt drive has parallel shafts rotating in the same direction, whereas the cross-belt drive also bears parallel shafts but rotate in opposite direction. The former is far more common, and the latter not appropriate for timing and standard V-belts unless there is a twist between each pulley so that the pulleys only contact the same belt ...
Gates bike belt drive system Belt-drive Belt-drive single-speed rear hub on a Trek District Belt-drive crankset on a Trek District Belt-drive multi-speed rear hub gear on a Trek Soho. A belt-driven bicycle is a chainless bicycle that uses a flexible belt, typically a synchronous toothed design, in order to transmit power from the pedals to the ...
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 ...

The K110 was Toyota's first belt-type CVT and production began in August 2000. Toyota said that the transmission was both fuel-efficient and offered high driving performance. The K110 features a torque converter with a long-travel damper to help achieve quiet operation and improved fuel efficiency. Applications: Toyota Opa – 2.0L (2000–2005)
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 ...
Helical involute gears are typically only used in limited situations where the spirals of the teeth are of the same handedness, the spirals of the two involutes are of different handedness, and the line of action is the external tangents to the base circles (analogous to a normal belt drive, whereas normal gears are analogous to a crossed-belt ...
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.
