Drive Systems
• Transfer power from place to place
• Can change size, direction and speed of applied force
• Belt, chain, gear, cam and variable speed systems
• Synchronous or non-synchronous
Things to remember:
• The types of belts
• What tensile members do
• Tight side, slack side
• Creep vs. slip
Belt Length Formula:L = 2 x C + 1.57(D + d) + (D – d) 2 / 4 x C
Let’s work out the belt length for two pulleys 30” apart. One has a 5” diameter and the other has a 10” diameter.
