Question:

Where are belt drives used in industry? On what machinery are they used?

And all the major uses for them?Thanks :) 10 points to the best answer.

Answer:

Combines used to harvest crops use a lot of drive belts.
Just about every machine that has a motor uses belts. There are a few applications that have a direct drive, but most have belts. Even some motorcycles and nearly all motorscooters.are belt driven.
You see them on HVAC applications, like air handlers. Typical is an electric motor belt hooked up to a squirrel fan or maybe a conveyor belt. Rock quarries, huge exhaust fans, grain elevators, dryers. And of course back up generators like those with big diesel engines. And those old school saw mills you see at the State Fair that are hooked up to a coal fired steam engine. Good Luck!
