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.

TYPES OF BELT

Flat belt

V-belt

Circular belt

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)

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.

FUNCTION OF DYNAMOMETER
This type of dynamometer is very suitable for measuring the
Torque

ADVANTAGES
More power transmission.

Compact due to less distance between
center of pulleys

High velocity ratio
