Crossed belt drivee

A crossed belt drive. as shown in Figure 2. 109, is used when the driven pulley is to hebe
rotated in the opposite direction to that of the driving pulley. The power transmittin
ing
capacity of a crossed belt drive is more than an open belt drive as the angle of wran iis
the belt it rubs against each other and ther
more. However, at a point where crosses, ere

c). Compound Motors

The compound motor Is a combination of the series motor and shunt motor (Figure 2.172).

The resulting characteristics of the compound motor is in between those of series and the shuunt

ator depending upon the strength of both fields as shown in Figure 2.173.

If the motor has only a few turns on the series field, then the motor will have better startinS
torque and retain good speed regulation.
