Two parallel shaft 6m apart are to be connected by a belt running over a pulley of
diameter 600 mm and 400 mm respectively. Find exact and approx lengths of belt
when belt is open and when belt is crossed.
An open belt drive is used to transmit 2.5 KW power. The belt is running at 2.5 m/sec
velocity over the pulleys. The angle of contact being 1650 and co-efficient of friction
being 0.3 what will be the effect on power transmission if the initial tension in belt is
increased by 8%
A belt 100 mm wide and 100 mm thick is transmitting power at 900 m/min. the
driving tension is 2.8 times the tension on the slack side. If the safe permissible stress
for the belt is 1.8 N/mm2, calculate the maximum power that can be transmitted at this
speed. Assume the density of leather belt is 1000 kg/m3. Consider the initial tension in
the belt; also calculate the greatest power that can be transmitted by this belt and its
corresponding speed.
An open belt drive connects two pulleys 1.2 m and 0.5 m diameter, on parallel shafts
3.6 m apart. The mass of the belt is 1 kg/m length and the maximum tension is not to
exceed 2000 N. The coefficient of friction is 0.3. The 1.2 m pulley, which is the
driver, runs at 200 rpm. Due to slip on one of the pulleys, the velocity of the driven
shaft is only 450 rpm. Calculate (1) The torque on each of the two shafts, (2) The
power transmitted, and (3) Power lost in friction.
A pulley is driven by a flat belt, the angle of lap being 1200. The belt is 100 mm wide
by 6 mm thick and density 1000 kg/m3. If the coefficient of friction is 0.3 and the
maximum stress in the belt is not to exceed 2 MPa, find the greatest power which the
belt can transmit and the corresponding speed of the belt.
In an open belt drive, the linear velocity of the belt is 3 m/s. The angle of lap on the
smaller pulley is 166, the co-efficient of friction is 0.3 and power transmitted is 3
kW. Determine the effect of power transmission in the following cases: (i) Initial
tension in the belt is increased by 10%. (ii) Angle of lap is increased by 10% by the
use of an idler pulley, for the same speed and tension on tight side. (iii) is increased
by 10%.
Two shafts whose centres are 1 m apart are connected by a V-belt drive. The driving
pulley is supplied with 100 kW and has an effective diameter of 300 mm. It runs at
1000 r.p.m. while the driven pulley runs at 370 r.p.m. The angle of groove on the
pulleys is 400. The permissible tension in 400 mm2 cross-sectional area belt is 2.1
MPa. The density of the belt is 1100 kg/m3. The coefficient of friction between the
belt and pulley is 0.28. Estimate the number of belts required.

Draw the profile of a cam rotating in anti clock wise direction and operating a knife
edge follower when the axis of the follower passes through the axis of the cam shaft
from following data:
1. Follower moves outwards through 30 mm during 90 of cam rotation.
2. Follower dwells for next 120
3. Follower returns to its original position during next 150
The displacement of the follower is to take place with SHM during outward stroke and
with uniform velocity during inward stroke. The least radius of the cam is 50 mm.
Determine a cam for operating the exhaust valve of an oil engine. It is required to give
simple harmonic motion during opening and closing of the valve each of which
corresponds to 60o of cam rotation. The valve must remain in the fully open position
for 30o of cam rotation. The lift of the valve is 40 mm and the least radius of the cam
is 40 mm. The follower is provided with a roller of radius 15 mm and its line of stroke
passes through the axis of cam. Find out the maximum value of velocity and
acceleration of follower if the cam rotates at 120 rpm.
Draw the profile of a cam operating a roller follower of 30 mm diameter from the
following data:
(i) It lifts the follower through 50 mm during 90o rotation with S.H.M. (ii) The
follower remains at rest for next 300 of cam rotation. (iii) The follower is then descent
to its original position during 600 of cam rotation with uniform acceleration and
retardation. (iv) It remains at rest for the rest of cam rotation. Least radius of cam is 50
mm. If it rotates at 300 rpm, find maximum velocity and acceleration during ascent
and descent.
A cam operates a flat faced follower which moves with cycloidal motion during ascent
and descent. The further specifications are:
Min radius of cam=30 mm Angle of ascent =120 Angle of dwell=60
Lift of follower = 40 mm Angle of decent= 90 speed of cam =300 rpm
Draw cam profile .Find max velocity and acceleration during ascent and decent.
Draw the profile of a cam operating a roller reciprocating follower and with the
following data:
Minimum radius of cam =25 mm, Lift = 30 mm, Roller Diameter = 15 mm. The cam
lifts the follower for 120 with SHM followed by a dwell period of 30. Then the
follower lowers down during 150 of the cam rotation with uniform acceleration and
deceleration followed by a dwell period. If the cam rotates at a uniform speed of the
150 rpm, Calculate the maximum velocity and acceleration of the follower during the
ascent and descent period. Also draw the displacement, velocity and acceleration
diagram for the motion of the follower for one complete revolution of the cam.
