What is a Flat belt pulley?

A flat belt pulley is a type of pulley used to drive flat belts. These belts are typically made from rubber, leather, or synthetic materials and have a flat cross-section. The pulley has a smooth, flat surface, and the belt runs along this surface without grooves, transferring power effectively through friction.

Features:
・Compatibility with Flat Belts: Flat belt pulleys are designed to work with belts that have a flat cross-section, optimizing friction for efficient power transmission.
・Suitable for Low-Speed Drives: Especially effective for systems that require low-speed or low-torque drives.
・Quiet Operation: Due to the smooth contact between the belt and the pulley, flat belt pulleys often operate more quietly compared to other systems.

Application of Flat belt pulley

１．Industrial Machinery: Used in industrial equipment for transmitting power through flat belts, such as fans, pumps, and conveyors.
２．Agricultural Equipment: Found in the power transmission systems of tractors and mowers, where flat belts are employed.
３．Automobiles: Early automobile engines used flat belts in their drive systems, although modern vehicles typically use other types of belts.
