A well-tensioned V-belt can run for thousands of hours — but only if it starts its life in good condition. One of the silent killers of belt reliability is improper storage. Too often, belts sit for months in hot stores, hung on nails, or stacked under heavy boxes. By the time they reach the machine, they’ve already lost flexibility, taken a set, or absorbed contaminants. The result? Slippage, vibration, and early failure that no amount of alignment can fix.
