V-belts are the most common type of drive belt used for power transmission. 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.

V-belts, also called fan belts in automotive applications, link two or more rotating shafts to transmit power in a drive system. These lightweight belts are applauded for their dimensional accuracy, durability, and robustness.
