Thickness of Belt given Maximum Belt Tension Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thickness of Belt = Maximum Tension in Belt/(Tensile Stress in Belt*Width of Belt)
t = P_max/(σ*b)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Thickness of Belt - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Belt is defined as the thickness of the belt that we use in the belt drives.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Tension in Belt: 1200 Newton --> 1200 Newton No Conversion Required
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)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t = P_max/(σ*b) --> 1200/(1260000*0.126)

Evaluating ... ...

t = 0.00755857898715042

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00755857898715042 Meter -->7.55857898715042 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

7.55857898715042 ≈ 7.558579 Millimeter <-- Thickness of Belt
