The formula to calculate the Angle of Contact for a Cross Belt Drive is:
\[ \theta_{contact} = \frac{180 \cdot \pi}{180} + 2 \cdot \alpha \]
Where:
The Angle of Contact is the angle subtended by the belt on the pulley.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ \theta_{contact} = \frac{180 \cdot \pi}{180} + 2 \cdot 0.523 \]
Evaluating:
\[ \theta_{contact} = 4.18759265358979 \text{ rad} \]
The Angle of Contact for the Cross Belt Drive is 4.18759265358979 rad.
