1. Belt transmission has overload protection function. When the required transmission power exceeds the maximum static friction force, there will be slipping between the belt and the pulley, which is beneficial for achieving overload protection of the prime mover.
2. Belt drive has good ability to absorb vibration and impact. Due to the fact that the transmission belt is made of rubber and curtain fabric, it has excellent impact resistance and vibration absorption performance, which can avoid the impact of fluctuations in working resistance on the prime mover.
3. The center distance of the belt drive is relatively large and can be freely selected in principle, which is conducive to the arrangement of the transmission chain. The tensioning device of the belt drive can adjust the pre tensioning force of the belt drive and restore the performance of the belt drive.
4. Belt drive is suitable for high-speed transmission, so it is advisable to use belt drive at the input end of the equipment.
5. Belt transmission equipment is simple, cost-effective, has good processability, and is easy to install and adjust, making it an indispensable transmission method in mechanical transmission.
6. When the belt drive slips, friction generates heat quickly and should be stopped for repair in a timely manner.
7. Belt transmission cannot maintain precise transmission ratios.
