An advantage of a flat belt drive would be a smoother, quieter operation. A disadvantage to a flat belt drive would be slippage since flat belts are designed to cover a longer distance between pulleys.
Advantages of chains over flat belt drive Smoother operation Quieter running No mess left on the rear wheel, like a chain leaves Very low maintance it last longer than belts.
Sleep and creep does not take place for the v-belt. compare to flat belt it will be very less.
There are a number of factors that would affect the answer to this question including torque, shaft speeds, load etc. This is why there are many methods of delivering force to remote locations (worm, belt, chain). I believe some of the advantages when working with belts are - reduced friction losses as the belt has more contact area - decreased energy loss through vibration (in effect a belt has vibration dampening) - belt breakage usually seperates the drive system causing little damge or danger unlike chain If someone can answer the physics side of this I would be most appreciative as most of these answers come from car knowlege (see variable belt drive vs. timing chain).
The first Harley belt drive was on the original motorcycle built in 1903. But it was a flat leather belt driving a pulley bolted to the rear wheel. The first modern toothed rubber drive belt was on the 1980 Harley's.
Advantages: Can be installed without any installation software. Disadvantages: They need a flat surface to be used, or else they won't function.
A timing belt is a toothed belt that keeps the valves and fuel systems in critical phase with the rotation of the engine. A drive belt can be flat, toothed ridged or V shaped and drives ancillary items such as alternator, steering pump, water pump and the back wheel of some motorcycles.
You will have to make sure you park on a flat serface before tightening the motion drive belt of a murray lawn tractor. Remove most of the parts from underneath the tractor until you can reach the belt. Tighten of loosen screws as needed.
To change the drive belt on a Kawasaki Brute Force 650, first, ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is turned off. Remove the floorboards and the plastic cover over the drive belt by unscrewing the necessary bolts. Carefully take off the old belt, and then install the new belt by sliding it onto the drive pulleys, ensuring it's properly seated. Reassemble the cover and floorboards, and check the belt tension before testing the vehicle.
A belt drive is an alternative to a chain drive (as you would normally find on a bicycle or motorcycle). There are several types of belt used in belt drive systems including V-belts and toothed belts. The more common is the V-belt. A cross section of the pulley used shows that the belt runs in a V-shaped groove. Washing machines, older cars, and machinery use this type of belt system. The toothed belt is normally wide and flat with teeth on the inside to prevent slippage. Harley Davidson motorcycles use these, as do super-charged engines in cars.
To change the drive belt on a Yamaha Grizzly 660, first, ensure the engine is off and the vehicle is on a flat surface. Remove the access cover to the drive belt housing by unscrewing the bolts. Then, take off the old belt by loosening the tension and sliding it off the pulleys. Finally, install the new belt by placing it over the pulleys, ensuring it's seated correctly, and reattach the access cover.
To tighten the drive belt on a Yamaha Viper, first, ensure the snowmobile is on a flat surface and safely supported. Locate the drive belt tension adjustment bolts, usually found on the primary clutch. Use a wrench to turn the adjustment bolts clockwise to increase tension. After adjusting, check the belt for proper tension by pressing down on the belt; it should only deflect slightly under pressure.
