3.1 General
3.1.1 synchronous belt drive
system composed of a synchronous belt (3.2.1.1) and at least one synchronous pulley (3.3.1.1)
Note 1 to entry: Synchronized motion and/or power is transmitted through the engagement of teeth on the belt with grooves (3.3.2.1) on the pulleys.
Note 2 to entry: This belt drive has been known in the past by various names such as “timing belt drive”, “positive belt drive” or “gear belt drive”.
