A V-belt is used to transmit power between two or more rotating shafts. It is characterized by its trapezoidal cross-section, which allows it to wedge tightly into the grooves of the pulleys. This provides a high coefficient of friction, which minimizes slippage and ensures efficient power transmission.

Attributes:
• Absorb shock loads and improves efficiency
• Manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability and reliability

Applications:
A V-Belt is used to accommodate a small amount of misalignment between the shafts.
