Description

Flat belts are also used in transmission systems powered by flat Pulleys, typically for high-speed , low-power applications in textiles, papermaking, and office machinery, such as computer printers. Flat belts are also used for conveyors. Compared to plied belts of equal horsepower, flat belts are 25 percent or more thinner than plied belts, enabling flat belt pulleys to be smaller than V-belt pulleys. Flat belts are also less expensive than belts used in a serpentine pulley belt
