DRIVE BELT FOR 1850 GEARBOX

Belts are used in all kinds of restaurant equipment to drive conveyors, mixers, beaters, rotating cooking surfaces and more. A belt is a loop of flexible material used to link two or more rotating shafts mechanically, most often aligned in parallel. Belts are used in the conveyance of energy to transfer power from one component to another.

A gear or cogwheel is a rotating machine part having cut teeth or, in the case of a cogwheel, inserted teeth (called cogs), which mesh with another toothed part to transmit torque. Geared devices can change the speed, torque, and direction of a power source. Gears almost always produce a change in torque, creating a mechanical advantage, through their gear ratio, and thus may be considered a simple machine. The teeth on the two meshing gears all have the same shape. Two or more meshing gears, working in a sequence, are called a gear train or a transmission. A gear can mesh with a linear toothed part, called a rack, producing translation instead of rotation.

A transmission provides controlled application of power. Often the term transmission refers simply to the gearbox that uses gears and gear trains to provide speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device.
