Example: Pulley 1 is 6 inches and pulley 8 inches. Solve for the pulley ratio and belt length.
Details: Set the pulley size either by the adjustor or click on the text field and enter by keypad. Note that the formula at the top says that the ratio is pulley2 dia/pulley1 dia. The ratio then becomes 1.33 and the belt length with a center distance of 14 inches is 50 inches. The choice of belt and pulley types can be the user choice. Adjusting the distance between pulley centers increases the belt length.
Try using the Solve For: selector to solve pulley1 knowing the ratio and pulley 2 or solve for pulley2 or solve for the distance between centers knowing the belt length. This is noteworthy because we know that belts usually come in fixed lengths, so knowing the length what is the approximate distance between centers. Note also that if the user uses a longer belt a tensioner pulley can be added. The program is best used with a catalog of common offerings.
Note: As with all complicated computer programs the user is responsible for verification, application and use. Developer accepts no liability. This program is a guide to understanding that uses approximations.
