First, determine the Tension (N). Next, determine the mass (kg). Next, determine the length (m). Next, gather the formula from above = f = SQRT ( T / (4*m*L^2)).

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.
How do you measure belt tension?
Belt tension is measured by plucking the belt span while holding a sensor close by. Belt tension is adjusted until the belt span frequency, or measured tension level is within manufacturer's recommendations.
