Depend on the use of the words as nouns or verbs. Both could be either. We would need context in its use.

You should ask Webster though he would have a complete explanation.

The strength of the impact. Feeling something is a lot softer than belting it, which can be quite hard to withstand; it is likely to show some impact damage in response to the latter.

Felt

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felt

Belt

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt

Possibly

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_(mechanical)

This is a very bizarre question, can you provide more information or do you want to just give me a GA for answering your question?

In our corrugator machine, we have a Felt (name in manual) at double facer which is used to pull up the web and run it on hot (190C) plates in order to dry the glue between two layers.

The belts (name in manual) are used to transport the dried board after cutting into required length. I think, we can say that felt is used in high temperature areas and belt is in low temperature areas.

I am open so someone can correct me.

It is hard to say without seeing the manual. It could be a felt belt, a belt (a typographical error), felt could be a copyrighted name of a special belt and/or material, etc.

From your description it does sound like the 'felt' is a high temperature belt (or similar) device. A visual inspection of the inside of the machine may help (after the machine has been turned off and allowed to cool of course).
