or more appropriately in a fatigue situation,
the drive life (T)
The design power input to the
selection process must incorporate a
duty factor to allow for shock, high
starting torques and other expected
non-uniformities :-
( iii) design power = actual
nominal power duty factor (from the
table below eg.)
The basic rating, Po, is defined as the power
capacity of a single belt of a particular size in a 1:1
drive, whose length is the reference length and
whose life is the reference life.
Thus, from ( 5b) :
P =k v [ F ( Lo / 2 v To )1/m - M/D - v2 ] ;
and using ( iv) :-
( v) Po v [ K1 - K2/D - K3v2 - K4 log(v) ]
The steps in designing with typical belt
tables are as follows :-
Determine the design power
design power = actual power service
factor
where the tabulated service factor is a
combination of the above duty factor, and
a life factor which caters for lives other
than the reference life.
Select an appropriate belt size, guided by
the carpet diagram of design power
versus small pulley speed. This diagram is
indicative, not prescriptive.
Ascertain the power rating of a single
belt of that size; this is a tabulated function
of belt speed and small pulley diameter as
noted above, the tabulation also making
provision for the large pulley diameter by
approximations similar to ( iv).
The arc factor, again tabulated, caters
for contact arcs other than 180
o
on the
small pulley; it is just the ratio k /k .
A length factor reflects the effect of a
belt length other than the reference
length; again the factor is tablulated.
The number of necessary belts of that
particular size follows from :
belt number design power / ( belt
power rating arc factor length factor )
The general equation of belt service
life can be written thu
x 3600ua H = a7N0
whence the belt service life is
N0 (--h (14.20)
3600ua \maxJ
where N0 = base of fatigue tests
assumed equal to 1O cycles
