Determine the number of belts required.

A v-belt drive is used to transmit 38 kW power at 1440 r.p.m. from a three phase induction motor to a centrifugal pump, required to be operated at 360 r.p.m. The motor pulley pitch diameter is 225 mm and the groove angle is 380. The central distance between the pulleys is 1 m. The coefficient of friction for the belt pulley combination is 0.2 and the density of the belt material is 0.97 gm/cc. If the allowable tension in the belt is 800 N, determine:

i) the number of belts required; and ii) the pitch length of the belt.

Assume suitable cross-section for the belt based on the power to be transmitted.

P=38kW

d=225mmN1=1440N2=360i=4c=1m

For P = 38 and d = 225 mm

Select cross section (PSG 7.58)

For c - 8

Top width W = 22 mm

Nominal thickness T = 14 mm

D = idn D = 4 x 225 x 0.98 (assuming slip less than 2 %) D = 882 mm D890mm

Length of belt

L=2c+π2(D+d)+(Pd)24CL=3846mm

sts length available = 3713 mm for cc/s

corrected center distance = 0.92 m

No. of belt n=P×FaKW×Fc×Fd

Fc=1 for selected belt (PSG 7.60)

Fd = correction factor to a

Arc of contact

d=18060DdCd=136.63Fd=0.88(for d = 136)

Fa=1.2 for induction motor and centrifugal pump
