Introduction to belt drive.
Factors-Amount of power
transmission.
Types of belt drives.
INTRO
Power has to transmitted from one shaft to
another shaft we r using belt or rope drive.
Pulleys are mounted on the shaft &
continuous belt or rope is passed over
them.
Power transmitted due to friction bn them
& the pulleys.
Dist. bn shaft Large belt,rope or chain.
