Formula

The formula to calculate the Angle Made by Belt with Vertical Axis is:

\[ \alpha = \frac{r_1 - r_2}{x} \]

Definition

Angle made by belt with vertical axis is the angle made by a line joining the center of the pulley to the belt with the vertical axis. Radii of Larger Pulley is a straight line from the center to the circumference of the larger pulley. Radii of Smaller Pulley is a straight line from the center to the circumference of the smaller pulley. Distance Between Centers of Two Pulleys is the horizontal distance between the larger and smaller pulley.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \alpha = \frac{10 - 6}{0.55} = 7.27272727272727 \]
