Calculation:
First, we will use theeqn.1.2for finding out the load due to idlers:
Load due to idlers (mi): This can be calculated as below:
mi = (mass of a set of idlers) / (idlers spacing)
= m'I /l'
= 25 kg/m
finding out the belt tension in steady state:
Tb = 1.37*f*L*g*[2*mi+ (2*mb + mm)*cos ()] + (H*g*mm)
= 1463.9419 N
The belt tension while starting the system can be calculated by using
Tbs = Tb*Ks
= 2195.9 N
For calculating the power at drive pulley,
Pp = (Tb*V)/1000
= 0.60654 KW
We will use theeqn.1.5estimate the size of the motor:
Pm = Pp/Kd
Pm = 0.7582 KW
We will use theeqn.1.6to find out the acceleration of the motor:
A = (Tbs Tb)/ [L*(2*mi + 2*mb+mm)]
= 0.263439677 m/sec2
Lastly, we will use theeqn.1.7to find out the belt breaking strength
Bs = (Cr*Pp)/ (Cv*V)
= 29.28 N/mm =
