Tangential Drive Formulas

Torque required to drive load W usino a

tangential drive such as a conveyor jr liming
belt drive

Ttotal=Tload+Tpu[ey+ TB"t*TMotor* TFriction

Ttota=1 /g(Jtoad+J-pultey+J get* JMotor)w/t+

' FflCtOn

Jpu ey=(WpR2)/2 (Mutiiply by the totat number

of pulleys)

T=Torque, oz-in

w=angular velocity, radians/sec ,

Wl=weight of the toad (oz)

Wp=pulley weight (oz)

WB=Belt weight (oz)

R=radius, inches

p=density, ounces/in

g=gravity constant 386in/seC

V=linearvelocity, in/sec

F=frictional force (oz)
