Selecting a Flat Belts for the Model of Coupling with Flat Belts

Abstract

Mechanical gears with flat belts are currently the most intensively developing group of mechanical transmissions. This is due to the need to increase the speed of moving elements of machines and to transfer torque over considerable distances. This intensive development has enabled the development of materials engineering and the emergence of modern materials in the production of belts. An example would be the use of Kevlar and modern Carbon fibers. Analysis of the latest flat belt designs against the background of the whole group of these gears allows to indicate how to choose a belt for the gear so that coupling with the wheel is optimal. For this purpose, the model of coupling was analyzed again for modern drive. Modeling of this process is a solution to the age-old problem of choosing the right belt for a belt transmission.
