Flat Belt Design Equations
Flat Belt Design Equations. P = tension in belt (1-tight, 2-slack) hp = horsepower s = ultimate strength of belt t = thickness b = belt width (in) f = coefficient of friction (leather = 0.3, rubber = 0.25 Flat belt (use .5123 for V-belts) p = belt density (lb/in 3 0.035 for …
