belt-driven
Loop-and-wheel transmission
Belt-driven describes machinery powered by a belt connecting a motor to another component.
The belt transfers rotational force from one pulley to another: a belt-driven turntable, belt-driven garage door opener.
The term often contrasts with direct-drive systems, where the motor connects without an intermediate belt.
