The paper seeks to explore the effect of under belting a multiple V-belt drive on the life of a given sets of belts. Under belting a device means using fewer belts than recommended by good design practices. The experiment investigates the incremental reduction of the number of belts by one and the attendant effect on the life of the whole belts set. The experiment is based on ten belts being the normal required to drive the load. The experiment emphasizes the effect of reducing one V belt on the life of the whole set. The experiment was based on 100% efficiency on the whole life of the whole sets from 10 belts, which is the required to drive the load. Effect of belt creep was neglected. It was progressively decreased by one and the whole belt life was evaluated based on the reduction
