A conveyor pulley is a mechanical device used to change the direction of the belt in a conveyor system, to drive the belt, and to tension the belt.Modern pulleys are made of rolled shells with flexible end disks and locking assemblies.
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 transmission is desired.

A rigid belt actuator, also known as a push-pull belt actuator or zipper belt actuator, is a specialized mechanical linear actuator used in push-pull and lift applications. The actuator is a belt and pinion device that forms a telescoping beam or column member to transmit traction and thrust. Rigid belt actuators can move dynamic loads up to ...
Linear belt actuators are, but they're a sub-class”. I argue that a belt drive is a very common form of linear actuator (as is a chain drive). From Sclater, N., Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook, 4th Edition (2007), p. 25, McGraw-Hill: "Mechanical actuators convert a motor's rotary motion into linear motion. Mechanical methods for ...
