Maximum Tension for Transmission of Maximum Power by Belt Calculator

Calculate Maximum Tension for Transmission of Maximum Power by Belt



Formula

The formula to calculate the Maximum Tension of Belt is:

\[ P_{max} = 3 \cdot T_c \]

Definition

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.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ P_{max} = 3 \cdot 12.51 = 37.53 \]
