What is the correct tension on a synchronous belt?
Laboratory testing has shown that synchronous belts, like V-belts, operate ideally at approximately a 5:1 tension ratio (tight side to slack side tensions).
How do you calculate belt tension?
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 do you measure a synchronous belt?
Measure your belt length by counting the number of teeth and multiplying it by the pitch.
