Best Answer

You would not normally use a belt with a single pulley. Belts are normally used to transmit kinetic energy between two or more pulleys in a mechanical system where it is desirable to transmit energy in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of a pair of shafts. To transmit energy along a shaft's axis of rotation one would normally use a shaft coupler, or simply a longer shaft. For other angles a universal joint or flexible shaft is typical (depending on the angle and the amount of torque required).
