Belts are flexible loops of material that can link two rotating shafts mechanically and transmit power between them. Belts are also the primary component in belt drives, where one or more continuous belts are fitted over two pulleys at two shafts and rotary motion is transferred from the driving pulley to the driven pulley.
As compared to chain drives and gear drives, belt drives run quietly and smoothly and do not need lubrication. Maintenance is also comparatively convenient, and the driven shaft speed can be easily altered by changing pulley sizes.
Pulleys are parts of disc hubs, which are generally relatively large in size. The manufacturing process is generally based on casting and forging. Generally, the larger size is designed to use the casting method, the material is generally cast iron (good casting performance), and cast steel is rarely used (the casting performance of steel is not good); generally the smaller size can be designed for forging. For steel. Pulleys are mainly used for long-distance transmission of power, such as the power output of small diesel engines, agricultural vehicles, tractors, automobiles, mining machinery, machining equipment, textile machinery, packaging machinery, lathes, forging machines, and some small horsepower motorcycles. Transmission, power transmission of agricultural machinery, air compressor, reducer, reducer, generator, gin, etc.
