A belt drive is desired to couple the motor with a mixer for processing corn syrup. The 10-hp electric motor is rated at 3550 rpm, and the mixer must operate as close to 900 rpm as possible. Select an appropriate belt size, commercially available sheaves, and a belt for this application. Also, calculate the actual belt speed and the center distance. Assume: - An industrial V-Belt - Single belt - Compact Design - Smallest drive sheave so that driven speed is 900 rpm +/- 5% - Aim for the shaft spacing that is an even whole number 1.) The nomenclature of the properly selected V-Belt is _____ V. 2.) The magnitude of the "ideal" VR for the belt drive is _____. 3.) Consider the speed range (bandwidth) that the mixer shall be allowed to operate. The magnitude of the larger speed is _____ rpm. 4.) Consider the speed range (bandwidth) that the mixer shall be allowed to operate. The magnitude of the smaller speed is _____ rpm.
