A selection of belt type and construction from industrial, automotive, and agricultural applications was tested and compared for idling loss and power transmission efficiency. Data are documented for Vee, joined-V, V-ribbed, and synchronous belt types and for cogged, plain, and laminated V-belt constructions. The level of energy savings achieved by the replacement of plain-base wrapped V-belts with cogged V-belts is emphasized. Belt efficiency, slip, and temperature dependence on the basic drive parameters of torque, sheave diameter, belt tension, and contact angle is reported.
