Abstract

See full text

A pulley belt (100) for transmitting force from a first pulley (12) to a second pulley (14) includes a belt member (110) having a contact surface (120) configured to be in contact with the first pulley (12) and the second pulley (14). A plurality of projections (122) extends from the contact surface (120). The projections have a predetermined height/diameter aspect ratio. In a method of making a pulley belt, an uncured elastomer (316) is placed in a mold (310) having a shape of a belt member (320) with an inner surface from which patterned projections (312) extend inwardly. The uncured elastomer is cured to form a cured belt member (320), which is removed from the mold (310).
