belts

Belts are mechanical components used to transmit power between rotating shafts in machines. They are typically made of flexible material like rubber or fabric and run over pulleys to transfer motion and force efficiently. Belts allow for smooth, quiet operation, and can accommodate slightly misaligned shafts. They are common in devices like car engines (timing belts), washing machines, and industrial equipment. Proper tension and alignment are essential to prevent slipping and wear, ensuring the system operates reliably and efficiently.
