Abstract:Synchronous belt drives combine the advantages of simple belt drives (flat, trapezoidal or ridged) due to their low weight, low maintenance, large linear speed ranges and high transmission ratios with the advantages of chains: absence sliding, synchronized transmission of speed, low tensioning, etc. Thanks to the toothing of the belt which enters the corresponding one of the synchronous pulleys, there is direct transmission of the power without sliding as between two gears.
