Maximum Belt Tension Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Maximum Tension in Belt = Tensile Stress in Belt*Width of Belt*Thickness of Belt
Pmax = σ*b*t
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Maximum Tension in Belt - (Measured in Newton) - Maximum Tension in Belt is the maximum amount of tensile force into the belt of a belt drive assembly.
Tensile Stress in Belt - (Measured in Pascal) - Tensile Stress in Belt is defined as the tensile stress generated in the belt during operation.
Width of Belt - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Belt is defined as the width of the belt which we generally use in belt drives.
Thickness of Belt - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Belt is defined as the thickness of the belt that we use in the belt drives.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Tensile Stress in Belt: 1.26 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 1260000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Width of Belt: 126 Millimeter --> 0.126 Meter (Check conversion here)
Thickness of Belt: 5 Millimeter --> 0.005 Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Pmax = σ*b*t --> 1260000*0.126*0.005
Evaluating ... ...
Pmax = 793.8
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
793.8 Newton --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
793.8 Newton <-- Maximum Tension in Belt
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
