Frictional Force in V Belt Drive Calculator

Calculate Frictional Force







Formula

The formula to calculate the Frictional Force in V Belt Drive is:

\[ F_{friction} = \mu_b \cdot R \cdot \csc\left(\frac{\beta}{2}\right) \]

Where:

Definition

Force of friction is used in merchant circle where the friction force is equal to the product of coefficient of friction and normal force.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ F_{friction} = 0.3 \cdot 15 \cdot \csc\left(\frac{0.52}{2}\right) \]

Evaluating:

\[ F_{friction} = 17.5042412460968 \text{ N} \]

The Frictional Force in V Belt Drive is 17.5042412460968 N.
