1. INTRODUCTION
• A belt is a looped strip of flexible material, used to mechanically
link two or more rotating shafts.
• They may be used as a source of motion, to efficiently
transmit power , or to track relative movement.
• Belts are looped over pulleys. In a two pulley system, the belt can
either drive the pulleys in the same direction, or the belt may be
crossed, so that the direction of the shafts is opposite.

6. VELOCITY RATIO OF BELT
DRIVE
It is the ratio between the velocities of the driver and the follower or driven.
It may be expressed, mathematically, as discussed below:
Let d1 = Diameter of the driver,
d2 = Diameter of the follower,
N1= Speed of the driver in r.p.m., and
N2 = Speed of the follower in r.p.m.
Length of the belt that passes over the driver, in one minute= d1.N1
Similarly, length of the belt that passes over the follower,
in one minute = d2 . N2
Since the length of belt that passes over the driver in one minute is equal to the length
of belt that passes over the follower in one minute,
therefore d1 . N1 = d2 . N2
