Figure 2 shows an open flat belt drive connected to a motor and a pulley. The motor transmits 20 kW to the connect pulley of 450 mm diameter and is rotating at 850 r/min to a second pulley rotating at 400 r/min. The distance between pulley centres is approximately 2 m. The belt is 6 mm thick and has a density of 970 kg/m³. The maximum stress in the belt is not to exceed 2,7 MPa. The coefficient of friction for both pulleys is 0,3. Determine: 2.1. The diameter of the second pulley. 2.2. The length of the belt. 3.3. The width of the belt taking centrifugal tension into account. 3.1. Describe 5 shafts couplings 3.2.
