Question

Why v belt transmits more power than flat belt?

Answer 1

The V-belts have higher power transmission capacity than flat belts, round belts and tapes. The wedging action between the V-belt and V-pulleys permits small arc of contact that increases the powertransmission capacity and reduces belt slip to a greater extent.
