The document provides steps for designing flat belt and V-belt drives using manufacturing data and basic equations. For flat belts, the steps include selecting pulley diameters, calculating design power, selecting belt type and number of plies, determining belt width, pulley width, belt length, and other pulley dimensions. For V-belts, the steps are selecting belt cross section, pulley diameters, center distance, pitch length, power capacity, number of belts, actual center distance, and V-grooved pulley dimensions. Both methods also describe equations for power transmission, belt tension, belt mass, and belt cross-sectional area.
