2. Construction of Cam profile P revious lecture

3. Today’s lecture Belt Rope Chain

4. Ratio of Driving Tensions Ratio of Driving Tensions for Rope Drive: Ratio of Driving Tensions for V-belt: Ratio of Driving Tensions for Flat belt:

5. Centrifugal Tension Since the belt continuously runs over the pulleys, therefore , some centrifugal force is caused, whose effect is to increase the tension on both, tight as well as the slack sides. The tension caused by centrifugal force is called centrifugal tension .

6. Maximum Tension in the Belt A little consideration will show that the maximum tension in the belt (T) is equal to the total tension in the tight side of the belt (T t1 ).

7. Condition For the Transmission of Maximum Power

8. Next lecture Numerical problems on belt rope
