If it is "one big rope loop" running between two sheaves, why not use a belt?

SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on optimizing a motor pulley and rope combination for high-speed applications, specifically at a rotation speed of 70 km/h. Users suggest using eyelet bolts for maintaining rope orientation, but concerns arise regarding potential rope overlap and slippage. Alternative solutions include the use of slip guides and polypropylene wedges to prevent overlapping during operation. The primary goal is to ensure the rope remains properly positioned under tension while lifting a weight of 80 kg.
