V Flat Belt Design Equations and Formulae
P = tension in belt 1 tight 2 slack r = pulley radius T = Torque in lb w = rpm f = coefficient of friction leather = rubber = Flat belt use 5123 for V belts B = 1/2 groove angle C = distance between shafts in D 1 = sheave diameter D 2 = sheave diameter L = Length m = mass/unit length of belt Φ = Angle of contact Link to this Webpage Copy Text to clipboard
