Kevlar is good in sheer force/sheer stress resistance, but it is weaker to resist normal stress so it is recommended not to use as power transmission shaft
I agree with Amin Ezazi, Kevlar has good strength to weight ratio. It is good in low temperatures. Kevlar fabric has wide applications where strength to weight ratio plays major role. Example: Kevlar finds importance in aviation industries as it is good impact resistant and in tailored composites with directional properties.
