MoodleVUT belt engages the smaller pulley horizontally. It is understood that the tension in the slack side of the belt remains the same at both ends of the inserted jockey pulley. Diameters are respectively m=700 mm for the driven pulley and a 330 for the driver with a coefficient of friction of and 0.28 between the belt and each pulley. Pulleys are mounted on parallel axes kept 1.257m apart. Angle 0 70° between the radius (tangential to the belt) and the horizontal is not to be confused with contact angles.

A fan is driven by a belt from a motor which runs at 880 rpm. A medium double ply leather belt 8 mm thick and 250 mm wide is used. The diameters of the motor pulley and the driven pulley are 350 mm and 1370 mm. The center distance is 1370 mm, and both pulleys are made of cast iron. Coefficient of friction of leather on cast iron is 0.35. The allowable stress for the belt is 2.4 MPa, which allows for the factor of safety and also for the fact that a double ply belt does not have double the capacity of a single ply belt. (A double ply belt has approximately 85% the capacity of a single ply belt of the same thickness.) The belt density p =970 kg/m^3. What is the power capacity? (Answer: 39.1 kW ) -0350 -1370
