 ABSTRACT

In the industrial and commercial sectors, one in three electric motors use
belt drives. However, some customers fail to take advantage of the potential
energy cost savings of certain industrial belts, which are readily available
and cost -efficient. While pulleys control the speed of the equipment,
industrial belts are designed to position the motor relative to the load. High
efficiency and low maintenance are key components to top performing belt
transmission systems.

SLIP OF BELT AND ITS EFFECTON EFFICIENCY

1.0 Brief Introduction:

Belt Drives
Belt Drives are a type of frictional drives used for transmitting powers from
one shaft to another by means of pulleys which rotate at the same speed or
at the different speed. Belt drive types A belt drive is shown in the figure. It
consists of two pulleys over which an endless belt it passed over them. The
mechanical power or rotary motion is transmitted from the driving pulley to
the driven pulley because of the frictional grip that exists between the belt
and the pulley surface. The portion of the belt which is having less tension
is called slack side and the one which has higher tension is called tight side.
The effective pulling power of the belt that causes the rotation of the driven
pulley is the difference in tension on the slack and tight side. The tensions
in the tight and slack sides of the belt depend on the angle of contact, the
belt drives have to be arranged such that the slack side comes above and the
tight side comes below the pulleys. Belt drive gif This arrangement
increases the angled contact of the belt on the driven side. Sometimes in a
belt-drive, there is always a possibility of some slipping taking place
between the belt and the pulleys which cause the driven pulley to rotate at a
lesser speed, consequently reduces the power transmission. Hence belt
drives are said to be not a Positive type of power transmission system.

SLIP OF BELT AND ITS EFFECTON EFFICIENCY
Brief Description:

Types of Belts
There are four commonly used types of belts are:
 Flat belt
 V belt
 Circular
Flat belt: This belt has a rectangular cross-section. These belts are capable
of transmitting power over long distances between pulley centres. The
efficiency of this drive is around 98% and produce little noise.
V-belts: v-belts also used with grooved pulleys, V-belts are trapezoidal in
cross-section. These belts permit large speed ration and can transmit higher
power. Multiple drives are possible.
Circular: This type of belt has a circular cross-section and is used with the
grooved pulleys.
Types of Belt Drives
 Open belt drive.
 Crossbelt drive.
 Stepped cone pulley or speed cone drive.
 Fast and loose pulleys.
 Jockey pulley drive.

6|Page
Open Belt Drive :-

 In these types of belt drive, the belt is employing when the two parallel
shafts have to rotate in the same direction.

 When the shafts are far apart, the lower side of the belt should be the
tight side and the upper side must be the slack side.

 This is because, when the upper side becomes the slack side, it will sag
due to its own weight and thus increase the arc of contact.

7|Page
Cross Belt Drive :-

 This types of belt drives, the belt is employing when two parallel
shafts have to rotate in the opposite direction. At the junction where
the belts cross, it rubs against itself and wears off.

 To avoid excessive wear, the shafts must be placed at a maximum

distance from each other and operated at very low speeds.

8|Page
Stepped Cone Pulley or Speed Cone Drive :-

 This types of belt drives are used when the speed of the driven shaft is
to be changed very frequently as in the case of machine tools such as
lathe, drilling machine, etc.
 A stepped cone pulley is an integral casting having three or number of
pulleys of different sizes one adjacent to the other as shown in fig.
 One set of stepped cone pulley is mounted in reverse on the driven
shaft. An endless belt will be wrapped around one pair of pulleys.
 By shifting the belt from one pair of pulleys to the other, the speed of
the driven shaft can be varied.

9|Page
Fast and Loose Pulley Drive :-

 This types of belt drives are used when the driven or machine shaft is
to be started or stopped whenever desired without interfering with the
driving shaft.
 A pulley which is keyed to the machine shaft is called a fast pulley
and run at the same speed as that of the machine shaft.
 A loose pulley runs freely over the machine shaft and is incapable of
transmitting any power.
 When the driven shaft is required to be stopped, the belt is pushed on
to the loose pulley by means of a sliding bar having belt forks.

10 | P a g e
Jockey Pulley Drive:-

 In an open belt drive arrangement, if the center distance is small, or if the

driven pulleys are very small, then the arc of contact of the belt with the
driven pulley will be very small, which reduces the tensions in the belt,
or if the required tension of the belt cannot be obtained by other means,
an idler pulley, called jockey pulley is placed on the slack side of the belt
as shown in fig.
 Which increases the arc of contact and thus the tension which results in
increased power transmission.
