V ter gone through these topics, you should be able
to:

sed to transmit rotational motion
and torque rom one sha t to
another, smoothly, quietly and
inexpensively.
= Vdvantages o belt drives:
I. Less expensive than gear or chain lat belt
drives drives
II. Have lexible sha t center
distances, where gear drives are
restricted
III. Operate smoothly and with less
noise at high speeds
IV. Required no lubrication
V. Can be designed to slip when an
overload occurs in the machine
°  
= lat belt

- This belt is the simplest type but is typically limited to

low-torque applications because the driving orce is
restricted to pure riction between the belt and the
pulley
°  
= V-belt

- The most widely used type o belt, particularly in

automotive and industrial machines.
- Causes the belt to wedge tightly into the pulley,
increasing riction and allowing higher operating
torque.
Other types o belt
a) Cog belt b)Multi v-belt

c)Timing belt
    !

= Transmitted torque due to the di erences in

tension that exist in the belt during operation.

6) Two pulleys, one diameter 6
mm and the other
2

mm, are on parallel sha ts with centers 6

mm
apart. What is the angle o contact between a lat
belt and each pulley? What power can be
transmitted when the larger pulley rotates at 3


rev/min i the maximum tension in the belt is to be
6 and the coe icient o riction between belt
and pulley is
