drive belts
Rotating power transmitters
Drive belts are flexible loops that transfer mechanical power between rotating shafts, typically connecting an engine to components like alternators, water pumps, or air conditioning compressors.
In vehicles, a single serpentine belt often replaces multiple individual belts: The mechanic said my drive belts need replacing.
Industrial machinery uses similar belts to connect motors to equipment.
