Re: Belt drive system
Belts require a great deal of tension (resulting in more friction) to keep from slipping. Our team used belts a couple years ago and found that the weight savings was not worth the hassle. We have since gone back to chain drive because of its simplicity and robust-ness.
That being said, if anyone out there comes up with a simple, effective way to implement belts in a drive system, I would really like to hear about what you came up with.
