6. Terminology of a belt drivegy
• Driver : in a transmission system the one which
drives or supplies power to other mechanicaldrives or supplies power to other mechanical
element.
• Driven : in a transmission system the one whichy
follows the driver or receives power from driver.
• Tight side : the portion of the belt in maximumg p
tension. Denoted by T1 Newton.
• Slack side : the portion of the belt in minimum
tension. Denoted by T2 Newton
• Arc / angle of contact : it is the portion of the belt

16. Limitations of simple belt drivep
• Higher Velocity ratios ratios, lessen the arc of
i li d l fcontact, causing slippage and loss of power.
• For maximum power transfer on the beltsp
and pulleys, the pulley ratio should be 3 to 1
or lessor less
• To avoid excessive single-step ratios or
undersize pulleys.
– The central distance can be increased
– Compound drive /two-step drive /counter-shaft)
can be used tocan be used to

20. Slipp
• If there is no firm frictional grip between the belts and the shafts. This may cause
forward motion of the driver pulley without carrying the belt with it or forward
motion of the belt without carrying the driven pulley with it. This is called slip of
the belt, and is generally expressed as a percentage and denoted by S.

Notes:
1. When the centrifugal tension is taken into account,
the total tension in the tight side = T1 + TC and
total tension in the slack side = T2 + TC
2 Th t if l t i th b lt h ff t th2. The centrifugal tension on the belt has no effect on the power
transmitted by it. The reason for the same is that while calculating
the power transmitted, we have to use the values :
Total tension in tight side Total tension in the slack side= Total tension in tight side – Total tension in the slack side
= (T1 + TC) – (T2 + TC) = (T1 – T2).

b = Width of the belt in mm andb = Width of the belt in mm, and

37. Initial tension in the belt
• the motion of the belt (from the driver) and the follower
(from the belt) is governed by a firm grip due to friction(from the belt) is governed by a firm grip due to friction
between the belt and the pulleys, therefore the belt is
tightened up, in order to keep a proper grip of the belt over
the pulleys. Initially, even when the pulleys are stationary the
belt is subject to some tension, called initial tension.
Let T0 = Initial tension in the belt,
T1 = Tension in the tight side of the belt,
T2 = Tension in the slack side of the belt, and
n = Coefficient of increase of the belt length per unit force.
10-02-2015 Dr. S. Muali, Prof & Head, Department of Mechanical, JPNCE 1.37
38. Initial tension in the belt
that increase of tension in the tight side = T1 – T0
increase in the length of the belt on the tight sideincrease in the length of the belt on the tight side
= n (T1 – T0)
Similarly, decrease in tension in the slack side = T0 – T2Similarly, decrease in tension in the slack side T0 T2
decrease in the length of the belt on the slack side
= n (T0 – T2)( 0 2)
For constant length of the belt, when it is at rest or in motion,
The increase in length on the tight side = equal to decrease in
the length on the slack side
Therefore, equating
(T T ) (T T ) Note: If centrifugal tension is takenn (T1 – T0) = n (T0 – T2)
∴ T=(T1+T2)/2
Note: If centrifugal tension is taken
into consideration, then
T=(T1+T2)/2+Tc
