Maximum Tension of Belt Calculator

Calculate Maximum Tension of Belt Pa ±5%

meters ±5%

meters ±5%



Formula

The formula to calculate the Maximum Tension of Belt is:

\[ P_{max} = \sigma \cdot b \cdot t \]

Definition

Maximum tension of belt is determined by measuring the force to deflect the belt at a given distance per inch of the pulley. Maximum Safe Stress is the maximum stress (tensile, compressive, or bending) that is allowed to be applied on a structural material. Belt Width is defined as the width of the belt which we generally use in belt drives. Belt Thickness is defined as the thickness of the belt that we use in the belt drives.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ P_{max} = 800000 \cdot 0.028 \cdot 0.003 = 67.2 \]
