Wire Belts
Belts ends are joined by lacing the ends together with leather thonging (the oldest of the methods), steel comb fasteners and/or lacing, or by gluing or welding (in the case of polyurethane or polyester). Flat belts were traditionally jointed, and still usually are, but they can also be made with endless construction.
In a belt and pulley system, a cable or a belt runs along this groove and connects one pulley to the next. Use a pulley and belt system to transmit rotational motion, or, if the pulleys are of a different diameter, to increase or decrease the moment along a rotational motion axis.
Their primary function is to transmit power from a primary source, like a motor, to a secondary driven unit. They provide the best combination of traction, speed transfer, load distribution, and extended service life.
