Tip of the day

The belt of the washing machine has been changed many times. It appears that it is wearing out abnormally. It is possible that you have not installed a belt compatible with the model of the washing machine. There are several types of belts and they are not compatible with all machines. Look on your used belt for the part number. The type of belt to use depends on the type of application. There are flat belts that are used to transmit mechanical force from one pulley to another of different sizes, allowing for changes in speed. However, they tend to slip on the face of the pulley when the drum is overloaded. V-belts are belts that are used more for power transmission. They transmit more power than flat belts. Longitudinally ribbed belts increase the contact area between the pulley and the belt. They work by adhesion of the groove to the pulley. It allows an even distribution of the belt tension on the pulley contact surface. Synchronous timing belts are used to drive camshafts. It is essential to avoid any phase shift. A non-toothed belt will always shift due to its elasticity, even if it is well tensioned.
