Mechanical Maintenance: Maintaining Flexible Drives: Flat Belts, V-Belts, and Timing Belts

Transmission drives rely on belts to transfer power. No belt lasts forever, but by following the guidelines discussed in this course, unexpected equipment downtime can be minimized. This interactive online course will teach you about three types of belt driven power transmission drives, flat belts, V-belts and timing belts. You will learn how each belt works, how they’re constructed, and taught the importance of proper installation and maintenance. This course is part of a series of courses on basic mechanical maintenance.
