The five main styles of drive belts are shown below. (Ribbed (Poly V), Toothed, Round Profile, Flat Profile, Vee (V Profile). Click the image of the belt to find out more information on the specific style of belt.
A drive belt is a flexible loop usually made of rubber or polyurethane, often reinforced internally. Its role is to facilitate the transfer of motion from a motor or engine to one or more rotating shafts in a machine by establishing a connection between them.
Drive belts serve a dual purpose. Firstly, they eliminate the need for direct mounting of a motor or engine onto the shaft requiring rotation. Secondly, they function as a strategic weak point within a mechanism, designed to break under excessive loads or if there is a problem. They are usually relatively cheap to replace, especially when considering the potential damage that could occur in the absence of a drive belt.
We stock a large range of drive belts in our UK store and have UK suppliers that can quickly deliver the belts we don’t keep on the shelf.
