The author says synchronous belt drives in power transmission systems can save energy. Laboratory tests support the conclusion that synchronous belts use less power than some other drive systems. The author explains how a drive with three V belts was tested next to an 8 mm synchronous belt drive under identical conditions. The tests measured the relationship of efficiency, torque, speed, pulley diameter, and single and multiple V belts. This article discusses the findings. Synchronous belts prove to work better. They also offer favorable financial benefits.
