TRANSMISSION BY BELTS

A belt is used to tansmit a rotary motion between two or more wheels, like in pulleys or in bikes. Like in gears, a belt join a big wheel and a small wheel. The belt makes the wheels do an anticlockwise motion, but if you can modify this motion so a wheel makes a clockwise one, you've to cross the belt. The belt system is used to move medium forces. Here I leave you an animation of how the belt work.
