Use Of Belt Drive in Automotive Engineering

Definition Of Belt Drive In Mechanical Engineering:

Belt is used to transmit power from one shaft to another with the help of pulley. In this cause if pulleys rotate on same speed or different does't matter. There are some reason or some point when belt drive selected.

  • Speed Of  Drive and Driven Shaft 
  • Power want to transmit
  • Distance between Shafts
  • Need of positive drive
  • Required Space
  • Layout of Shaft
  • Service Condition

Types Of Belt Drive:

There are different kind of belts drives that are used in Mechanical Industry and also in automotive Engineering for different kind of work.

1. Light Drive            2. Medium Drives              3. Heavy Drives 

        1.Light Belt Drive:


Light drives always used for less speed and transmit less power from one shaft to another.Belt speed should be 10 meter per second in light drive belt.

       2. Medium Belt Drives:


Medium drive is used for transmit medium power from one point to another. The speed of medium belt drive should be more than 10 meter per second and less than 22 meter per second.

       3. Heavy Belt Drives:


Heavy drive is used for transmit large number of power from one point to other. The speed of Heavy belt drive should be more than 22 meter per second.
