< 20 Belt Drive Calculators

Length of Open Belt Drive

Go Total Length of Belt = pi*(Radii of Smaller Pulley+Radii of Larger Pulley)+2*Distance Between Centers of Two Pulleys+((Radii of Larger Pulley-Radii of Smaller Pulley)^2)/Distance Between Centers of Two Pulleys

Cross Belt Drive Length

Go Length Belt Drive = pi*(Radii of Smaller Pulley+Radii of Larger Pulley)+2*Distance Between Centers of Two Pulleys+(Radii of Smaller Pulley+Radii of Larger Pulley)^2/Distance Between Centers of Two Pulleys

Frictional Force in V Belt Drive

Go Force of Friction = Coefficient of Friction b/w Belt & Sides of Groove*Total Reaction in Plane of Groove*cosec(Angle of Groove/2)

Relation between Pitch and Pitch Circle Diameter of Chain Drive

Go Pitch Circle Diameter of Gear = Pitch of Chain Drive*cosec((180*pi/180)/Number of Teeth on Sprocket)

Angle Made by Belt with Vertical Axis for Cross Belt Drive

Go Angle made by Belt with Vertical Axis = (Radii of Smaller Pulley+Radii of Larger Pulley)/Distance Between Centers of Two Pulleys

Angle Made by Belt with Vertical Axis for Open Belt Drive

Go Angle made by Belt with Vertical Axis = (Radii of Larger Pulley-Radii of Smaller Pulley)/Distance Between Centers of Two Pulleys

Initial Tension in Belt

Go Initial Tension of Belt = (Tension in Tight Side of Belt+Tension in Slack Side of Belt+2*Centrifugal Tension of Belt)/2

Normal Reaction between Belt and Sides of Groove

Go Normal Reaction between Belt and Sides of Groove = Total Reaction in Plane of Groove/(2*sin(Angle of Groove/2))

Torque Exerted on Driven Pulley

Go Torque Exerted on Pulley = (Tension in Tight Side of Belt-Tension in Slack Side of Belt)*Diameter of Follower/2

Torque Exerted on Driving Pulley

Go Torque Exerted on Pulley = (Tension in Tight Side of Belt-Tension in Slack Side of Belt)*Diameter of Driver/2

Power Transmitted by Belt

Go Power Transmitted = (Tension in Tight Side of Belt-Tension in Slack Side of Belt)*Velocity of Belt

Velocity for Transmission of Maximum Power by Belt

Go Velocity of Belt = sqrt(Maximum Tension of Belt/(3*Mass of Belt per Unit Length))

Length of Belt that Passes over Follower

Go Length of Belt over Follower = pi*Speed of Follower*Diameter of Follower Pulley

Length of Belt that Passes over Driver

Go Length of Belt over Driver = pi*Diameter of Driver Pulley*Speed of Driver

Maximum Tension of Belt

Go Maximum Tension of Belt = Maximum Safe Stress*Belt Width*Belt Thickness

Total Percentage Slip in Belt

Go Total Percentage of Slip = Slip between Driver and Belt+Slip between Belt and Follower

Centrifugal Tension in Belt

Go Centrifugal Tension of Belt = Mass of Belt per Unit Length*Velocity of Belt

Angle of Contact for Cross Belt Drive

Go Angle of Contact = 180*pi/180+2*Angle made by Belt with Vertical Axis

Angle of Contact for Open Belt Drive

Go Angle of Contact = 180*pi/180-2*Angle made by Belt with Vertical Axis

Maximum Tension for Transmission of Maximum Power by Belt

Go Maximum Tension of Belt = 3*Centrifugal Tension of Belt

Maximum Tension for Transmission of Maximum Power by Belt Formula

Maximum Tension of Belt = 3*Centrifugal Tension of Belt
P_max = 3*T_c

What is centrifugal tension?

It supplies tension to engine belts. When functioning the entire system properly keeps the vehicle running smoothly, but if any one part of the system fails, it could affect the alternator. Subsequently, the battery, the engine, and the car could break down.

What is belt tension and why is it important?

This centrifugal force reduces the pressure between the belt and the rim of the pulleys, and thus, move the belt away from the pulley and reduce the wrap angle. Therefore, the belt tensions and power transmission also are reduced.
