2 INTRODUCTION
The belt or ropes are used to transmit power from one shaft to another by means of pulleys which rotate at the same speed or at different speeds.
3 SELECTION OF BELT DRIVE Speed of the driving and driven shafts. Power to be transmitted. Positive drive requirements. Space available. Speed ratio. Centre distance between the driver and driven shafts. 4 TYPES OF BELT
Flat belt
V-belt
Circular belt 5 CONCEPT OF SLIP & CREEP WHAT IS SLIP ? Sometimes , the frictional grip between belt and pulley becomes insufficient , which may cause some forward motion of the driver without carrying the belt with it. This is called slip of the belt
VELOCITY RATIO:
( N2/ N1) = ( d1/d2) x ( 1- s/100) 6
WHAT IS CREEP OF BELT ? ( N2/N1) = (d1/d2) x { ( E + 2)/ ( E + 1)} When the belt passes from the slack side to the tight side a certain portion of the belt extends and it contracts again when the belt passes from the tight side to slack side. En pulley Due to these changes of length , there is a relative motion between the belt and the pulley surfaces. This relative motion is termed as creep.

8 FUNCTION OF DYNAMOMETER This type of dynamometer is very suitable for measuring the Torque 9 ADVANTAGES More power transmission.
Compact due to less distance between center of pulleys
