How do you calculate belt tension frequency?
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 is belt frequency measured?
One way to measure the natural frequency of a belt is to use Carlisle's Frequency-Finder™. The Frequency- Finder uses a laser sensor to measure the frequency of a vibrating belt. This frequency can then be compared to the recommended frequency calculated with the software that accompanies the instrument.
What is the correct belt tension?
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.
