Power Transmitted using V Belt Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Power transmitted by belt = (Belt Tension on Tight Side-Belt Tension on Loose Side)*Belt Velocity
P_t = (P₁-P₂)*v_b
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Power transmitted by belt - (Measured in Watt) - Power transmitted by belt is the amount of power that is transmitted from the belt of a belt drive to the pulley.
Belt Tension on Tight Side - (Measured in Newton) - Belt Tension on Tight Side is defined as the belt's tension on the belt's tight side.
Belt Tension on Loose Side - (Measured in Newton) - Belt Tension on Loose Side is defined as the belt's tension on the belt's loose side.
Belt Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Belt Velocity is defined as the velocity of the belt used in a belt drive.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Belt Tension on Tight Side: 800 Newton --> 800 Newton No Conversion Required
Belt Tension on Loose Side: 550 Newton --> 550 Newton No Conversion Required
Belt Velocity: 25.81 Meter per Second --> 25.81 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_t = (P₁-P₂)*v_b --> (800-550)*25.81

Evaluating ... ...

P_t = 6452.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6452.5 Watt -->6.4525 Kilowatt (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

6.4525 Kilowatt <-- Power transmitted by belt

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Drive Power to be Transmitted given Number of Belts Required

Go Power transmitted by belt = Number of Belts*(Correction Factor for Belt Length*Correction Factor for Arc of Contact*Power Rating of Single V-Belt)/Correction Factor for Industrial Service

Power Rating of Single V-Belt given Number of Belts Required

Go Power Rating of Single V-Belt = Power transmitted by belt*Correction Factor for Industrial Service/(Correction Factor for Belt Length*Correction Factor for Arc of Contact*Number of Belts)

Belt Velocity given Power Transmitted using V-Belt

Go Belt Velocity = Power transmitted by belt/(Belt Tension on Tight Side-Belt Tension on Loose Side)

Power Transmitted using V Belt

Go Power transmitted by belt = (Belt Tension on Tight Side-Belt Tension on Loose Side)*Belt Velocity

Belt Tension in Tight Side of Belt given Power Transmitted using V-Belt

Go Belt Tension on Tight Side = Power transmitted by belt/Belt Velocity+Belt Tension on Loose Side

Belt Tension in Loose Side of V-Belt given Power Transmitted

Go Belt Tension on Loose Side = Belt Tension on Tight Side-Power transmitted by belt/Belt Velocity

Power Transmitted using V Belt Formula

Power transmitted by belt = (Belt Tension on Tight Side-Belt Tension on Loose Side)*Belt Velocity
P_t = (P₁-P₂)*v_b
