With proper design insight, belts are usually quiet, easily replaced, and in many cases, because of their flexibility and damping capacity, they reduce the transmission of unwanted shock and vibration between shafts. Simplicity of installation, minimum maintenance requirements, high reliability, and adaptability to a variety of applications are also characteristics of belt drives. Because of slip and/or creep, the angular velocity ratio between the two rotating shafts may be inexact, and the power and torque capacities are limited by the coefficient of friction and interfacial pressure between belt and pulley. Commercially available belts of different cross sections Owing to the wedging effect, the force of friction on V-belt drives is larger than that of flat belts. So V-belts have higher pulling capacity, and find more application. V-ribbed belts have both the advantages of flat belts and V-belts. Round belts are used to transmit low power.

Belt failures may express themselves as cord breakage, cord-rubber separation, radial cracking (due to continued curing of the rubber), or circumferential cover cracking. Another failure of belt drive without damaging the machine elements is overall slip between belt and pulleys. It occurs when the friction torque is less than the applied one.
