Total Tension in Tight Side - (Measured in Newton) - Total tension in tight side is determined by measuring the force to deflect the belt a given distance per inch of pulley.
Centrifugal Tension of Belt - (Measured in Newton) - Centrifugal tension of belt is the tension caused by centrifugal force.
Total Tension in Slack Side - (Measured in Newton) - Total tension in slack side is determined by measuring the force to deflect the belt a given distance per inch of pulley.
Coefficient of Friction for Belt - Coefficient of Friction for Belt is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of the brake pad in relation to the brake disc or drum in contact with it.
Angle of Contact - (Measured in Radian) - The angle of contact is the angle subtended by the belt on the pulley.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Centrifugal Tension of Belt: 12.51 Newton --> 12.51 Newton No Conversion Required
Total Tension in Slack Side: 8 Newton --> 8 Newton No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Friction for Belt: 0.2 --> No Conversion Required
Angle of Contact: 0.17 Radian --> 0.17 Radian No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Tt1 = Tc+(Tt2-Tc)*e^(μ*θcontact) --> 12.51+(8-12.51)*e^(0.2*0.17)
Evaluating ... ...

What is centrifugal tension?

The tension caused by centrifugal force or called centrifugal tension.at lower belt speeds (less than 10 m/s), the centrifugal tension is very small, but at higher belt speeds (more than 10 m/s), its effect is considerable and thus should be taken into account.

What is the effect of centrifugal tension in the belt?

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.
