Design Lecture

This document discusses the design of a belt drive system for power transmission. The key steps in the design process are: 1) Specify the service factor based on operating conditions to calculate the design power. 2) Select the standard belt size based on the design power. 3) Determine the power rating per belt and add corrections for factors like the angle of wrap. 4) Iteratively calculate the belt length, center distance, and number of belts required to transmit the design power within specifications.

Basic Belt Drive Geometry

θ , θ are the angles of wrap for small and big sheaves respectively
n , n are the angular velocity for small and big sheaves respectively
C the center distance
S the span distance
Standard Belt Cross Sections
Design Conditions for V-belt
 The center distance must be adjustable in both directions, or if it was fixed,
idler pulleys should be used.

or Idler
pulley

 The nominal range of center distance should be:


 The angle of wrap on smaller sheave ( )should be
 Most commercially available sheaves are cast iron, which should be
limited to (1981 m/min = 33 m/sec)
 Consider an alternative type of drive, such as a gear type or chain, if the
belt speed is less than (304.8 m/min = 5 m/sec) Page (273)
