Not a secret, that industrial equipment often has very complex structures. Only engineers with professional education can understand such structures. However, it is well known, that one inexpensive detail, If it is poor -quality, can disable the entire mechanism. Such a detail is just drive belts. Their purpose is reduced to the coordination of moving parts of industrial mechanisms, The movement of these same mechanisms. If the drive belt breaks, Consequently, The entire mechanism stops. 
There are many varieties of drive belts, Let's talk in more detail about the varieties of drive belts of auxiliary units. There are two varieties of such belts - wedge and clinic belts. Let's talk about them more.
The belts of the first variety are called so because of their wedge-shaped form. They are inexpensive, unpretentious in operation, However, they are considered short -lived and quickly fail. If a simple wedge belt is torn, It can be replaced by almost any improvised material, even a piece of fabric or rope. This will preserve the mobility of the drive until the belt replacement.
The clinic belt has a more advanced design. As of his name understands, Such a belt in its design has several wedge -shaped segments, Unlike a simple wedge -shaped belt. The advantages of these belts are relative durability, strength, as well as the ability to transmit more effort. The totality of these factors is determined by the fact, that clinic belts gradually displace simple wedge. However, in demand, different types of drive belts are still in demand.
