Differences between flat belt drive and V-belt drive

Majority of mechanical machine units are driven by a prime mover, which converts mainly electrical energy into mechanical energy (usually in the form of rotation of a shaft). Power generated by the prime mover is transferred to the intended location for driving various elements of the machinery. Several power transmitting elements are used for such transmission purposes; each of them has specific advantages and disadvantages. Gear drive, belt drive, chain

Schematic diagram of three deformation zones in machining

Machining or metal cutting is one subtractive manufacturing process that indicates layer by layer material is gradually removed from the workpiece to impart desired shape, size and finish. In conventional machining processes (such as turning, threading, milling, facing, drilling, boring, etc.), material is removed with the assistance of a wedge shaped cutting tool. Here the cutting tool compresses a thin layer of work material and gradually shears it off in
