Differentiate between velocit ratio and slip. Discuss the effect of belt thickness and slip on velocity ratio.
Added by Jake P.
Step 1
VR is the ratio of the speed of the driver pulley to the speed of the driven pulley (VR = N1/N2). For a belt drive with no slip, VR equals the ratio of pulley diameters (VR = D1/D2). Slip is the actual relative motion that occurs between the belt and the pulley Show more…

An open belt drive system using a flat belt with a cross-section of 500 mm^2 and density of 1300 kg/m^3. The angle of lap is 165° on the smaller wheel. The coefficient of friction is 0.35 and the maximum tension allowed in the belt is 600 N. When the belt runs at 10 m/s: (i) Calculate centrifugal force exerted in the belt drive system. (ii) Calculate power to be transmitted. (iii) Find the critical belt speed, V_P.

'3.A V-belt drives a pulley at a speed of 1440 m/min. The coefficient of friction between belt and pulley is 0.3, semi V-groove angle is 22.5" and angle of contact of belt with the pulley is 1609. If the mass of the belt is 0.45 kg/m and if permissible pull in the belt is 800 N. Calculate the power. Consider the centrifugal tension in the belt:'

2. It is required to select a flat belt drive for a fan running at 360r.p.m which is driven by a 10kW, 1440 rpm motor. The belt is open type and the space is available for a centre distance of 2m approximately. The belt velocity should be between 17.8 to 22.9 m/s. 3. Determine the number of V-belts required to transmit 30 kW power under the following conditions : Smaller Pulley: Speed 1120 rpm, Pitch diameter 225 mm, Pulley groove angle 34° Larger pulley: Speed 280rpm, Pitch diameter 900 mm, Pulley groove angle 34° Maximum working load per belt = 560 N Coefficient of friction = 0.15 Centre distance between pulleys = 875 mm Mass of belt = 0.3 kg/m.
