Innovative design of a gear belt transmission for technological machines

The article presents the types of belt transmission designs, as well as the advantages of their use in mechanical engineering. Belt drives create loads as a result of excessive vibrations due to a flexible element (belt). A new design of an innovative toothed belt drive is proposed, which contains two paired driving and driven gear pulleys with different diameters and two belts with teeth covering them, while the gear ratios of each pair of gears are equal to each other. The simulation demonstrates a 25-38 % reduction in velocity fluctuation compared to conventional drives, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed design.
