CSWE Exam Preparation CS
Using Belt Chain l
Belt / Chain is one of the unique features in SOLIDWORKS for desi
sprockets, belts and pulleys,
The pulleys are created as a single sketch and converted into blocks. They get
positioned with relations and dimensions, then a belt is added and its length is
determined by the pulleys” positions
Depending on the location of the pulleys, SOLIDWORKS calculates the length for
the belt automatically. Once the bet is ereated, the belt length can be altered and
the pulleys are adjusted accordingly
This chapter will guide you through the ezeation of the pulley system shown
above. Four blocks will be developed independently, with an addition of a belt
‘which will wrap around them. Next, a driving angular dimension will be utilized to
test the movement ofthe pulleys. Then, when the angle is changed, not only will
the pulleys move, but the length of the belt will be updated as wel ‘CSWE 2018 | Exam Preparation | Using Belt Chain
