Timing Belt, V-Belt and Flat Belt Design and Engineering Formulas - Engineers Edge V belts (also style V-belts, vee belts, or, less commonly, wedge rope) 

The highest quality belts still lose nearly 50% of installed tension, while lower quality belts lose over 70% of installed tension. You cannot "feel" the correct tension on a V-Belt. On a test given to over 200 experienced maintenance personnel, only 1% tensioned a belt correctly using the "feel" method.

V-belts need larger pulleys for their thicker cross-section than flat belts. For high-power requirements, two or more V-belts can be joined side-by-side in an arrangement called a multi-V, running on matching multi-groove sheaves. This is known as a multiple-V-belt drive (or sometimes a "classical V-belt drive").

Welcome back. Draw belt cross section showing b (PSG-7.70) and B=width, T=thickness, cone angle 2β. Using power P=(T1−T2)×v, determine belt tensions.

Synchronous belt drives typically produce more noise than V-belt drives. Noise results from the process of belt tooth meshing and physical contact with the pulleys. Select PowerGrip GT2 or trapezoidal timing belts. Design with large pulleys with more teeth in mesh. Keep belts tight, and control tension closely.

DESIGN PROCEDURE FOR V BELT DRIVE STEP 1: MATERIAL SELECTION BELT Rubberized Fabric PULLEY Cast Iron STEP 2: Select suitable Belt cross-section based on power transmitted. (DDB7.58) STEP 3: Calculate diameter of smaller & larger pulley. 𝑖 = 𝑁 𝑛 = 𝐷 𝑑 Nd = nD Where, D- Larger pulley diameter, N-Smaller pulley speed d-Smaller

Drive design using optibelt SUPER XE-POWER PRO M=S belts should be carried out according to Optibelt's drive calculations. The stated performance values are 

Gates Predator V-Belts are specially reinforced for demanding applications such as those typically found in the wood and lumber processing industry, mining, agriculture, oil field equipment and heavy construction. This new generation PowerBand ® Belt is made by joining two or more Gates V-belts with a permanent, high-strength tie-band. It
