Maximum Tension of Belt Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Tension of Belt = Maximum Safe Stress*Belt Width*Belt Thickness
P_max = σ*b*t
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Tension of Belt - (Measured in Newton) - Maximum tension of belt is determined by measuring the force to deflect the belt at a given distance per inch of the pulley.
Maximum Safe Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Maximum safe stress is the maximum stress (tensile, compressive or bending) that is allowed to be applied on a structural material.
Belt Width - (Measured in Meter) - Belt Width is defined as the width of the belt which we generally use in belt drives.
Belt Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Belt Thickness is defined as the thickness of the belt that we use in the belt drives.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Safe Stress: 0.8 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 800000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Belt Width: 0.028 Meter --> 0.028 Meter No Conversion Required
Belt Thickness: 0.003 Meter --> 0.003 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_max = σ*b*t --> 800000*0.028*0.003

Evaluating ... ...

P_max = 67.2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

67.2 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

67.2 Newton <-- Maximum Tension of Belt

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
