Introduction to Plastic Modular Belts
, is effectively driven because the individual sprocket teeth positively engage the underside of the belt-- think sprocket and chain on a bicycle. These efficiency gains permit the use of lower-horsepower drive motors that result in energy savings for the plant. Unlike flat-belt systems that depend on high tension...

Basics of Configuring Drives
. The same can be said for flat belts, V-belts, and chain drives. Characteristic variables for toothed belts include the diameter of the drive and load pulleys (d1, d2), their moments of inertia (J1, J2), the mass m of the belt , and the total efficiency η. The play Δφout is indicated with reference...
