Belts Drives: Flexible Drives Used To Transmit Power Between Shafts

Flat belts are flexible drives used to transmit power between shafts. The document defines geometric relationships for open and crossed belt configurations, including formulas to calculate the angle of contact, belt length, and tensions relationship based on pulley diameters and center distance. Key variables are the diameters of the smaller and bigger pulleys (D1 and D2) and the center distance (C) between pulleys.
