V-belt formulas

Nov 17, 2004 5 Replies

I am looking for details on how you calculate the power that can be transmitted through a normal A or B section V-belt. I have googled and found various tid bits of information, but am looking for something that is a bit more complete, giving the formulas and typical loading/capacity off the belts.



I'm sure I've stumbled across a site with all the details before, but can't currently find it.



Thanks in advance

Do you have or have access to the "Machinery Handbook"? It should have that info.

Should find what you need in the v-drives section here...
