Kinematics of Machines - belts

In order to facilitate the students, who missed my class and the students who need to have a quick review of the topics discussed, this initiative is taken.

• Belts – an introduction, materials used for belts
• Type of belting- open, crossed, compound, quarter belt drive etc
• Application of belts , direction of rotation
• Velocity ratio
• Criteria for selection of belts
• Simple problems related to velocity ratio
• Angle of lap, tension in belts[ tight side tension and slack side tension ],velocity of the belt
• Co efficient of friction, ratio of tension , power transmitted
• Power transmitted with respect to open and cross belt drive for the same speed criteria
• Relation among these parameters, respective equations was discussed.
• Simple problems in belts
