Tension in Tight Side for Transmission of Maximum Power by Belt Calculator

Calculate Tension in Tight Side for Transmission of Maximum Power by Belt



Formula

The formula to calculate the Tension in Tight Side of Belt is:

\[ T_1 = \frac{2 \cdot P_{max}}{3} \]

Definition

Tension in tight side of belt is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object. Maximum tension of belt is determined by measuring the force to deflect the belt at a given distance per inch of the pulley.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ T_1 = \frac{2 \cdot 750}{3} = 500 \]
