The formula to calculate the Maximum Tension of Belt is:
\[ P_{max} = 3 \cdot T_c \]
Maximum tension of belt is determined by measuring the force to deflect the belt at a given distance per inch of the pulley. Centrifugal tension of belt is the tension caused by centrifugal force.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ P_{max} = 3 \cdot 12.51 = 37.53 \]
| Centrifugal Tension of Belt (Tc) | Maximum Tension of Belt (Pmax) |
|---|---|
| 10 | 30.000000000000000 |
| 11 | 33.000000000000000 |
| 12 | 36.000000000000000 |
| 13 | 39.000000000000000 |
| 14 | 42.000000000000000 |
| 15 | 45.000000000000000 |
