🔍 Key Concepts

• Multiple V-belt drives share the load between all belts in the set • Belts in a set must have matching length, wear, and tension to work properly • Mixing new and worn belts can cause unequal load sharing and slippage

💭 Think About

• What happens to load sharing if one belt is new (tight) and the others are worn (looser)? • How could one much tighter or looser belt affect the life of the pulleys and the remaining belts? • In a matched set, what is the usual maintenance practice when one element of that set fails?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option best maintains equal tension and load distribution among all belts • Check which choice reflects standard maintenance practice for matched multiple V-belt sets • Eliminate any option that focuses on only the single damaged belt without considering the rest of the set
