A flat metal belt made of Beryllium-Copper (BeCu) is Sf = 375 MPa and transmits at 8.24 kW / min and 8.25 kW of power. The belt life is 935 mm and 106 turns. The friction coefficient between the belt and the pulley will be 0.34, the operating coefficient is 1.41, and the design coefficient will be 1.55. Under the rotated pulley, the motor is 3.25 times the pulley diameter. Calculate belt belt and length for 0.20 mm in belt area and for pulley with minimum diameter. Belt width is required in 5 mm and its layers. Calculate the pretension force to be applied.

Q2. Figure Q2 shows a shaft which transmits a power of 48 kW through flat belts. Pulley A is driven by a motor which rotates at 3000 rpm. The diameter of pulley A is 400 mm and that of pulley B is 250 mm. The thickness of the belts is 4 mm and they are made of a material with density of 1100 kg/m3. Assume no sliding between pulleys and belts a) Calculate the speed of the belt and the...
Q2. Written assignment: A flat belt is required to transmit (35 kW) from a pulley of (1.5 m) effective diameter running at (320 RPM). The angle of contact is spread over (11/24) of the circumference. The coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley surface is (0.3). Determine, taking centrifugal tension into account, width of the belt required. It is given that the belt thickness is (9.5 mm), density of its material is (1100 kg/m²) and the related permissible working...
