Belt drive tension calculation

Belt drive tension calculation

Belt tension at steady state can be calculated as:(6.6)Tb=1.37×f×L×g×2×mi+2×mb+mm×cosδ+H×g×mmwhere Tb is the belt tension (N), f is the coefficient of friction, L is the conveyer length in meter divided by two, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/s2), mi is the load of idlers within 1m length of conveyer belt ( ...

How much tension should a belt drive have?

Whack the belt with a karate chop, and if it feels firm, the drive is properly tensioned." "Press the belt with your thumb until it deflects about 1/2 in." "Tension the drive until you get a slight bow in the slack side when it is running.

How do you calculate the force of a belt drive?

So the total axial force for a belt drive system consists only of the force required to move the load, which is the weight (m*g) of the load (both the external load and the belt) multiplied by the coefficient of friction (μ) of the guide supporting the load.
