Question: A flat belt drive operates with two pulleys having diameters 3 1 5 mm and 6 3 0 mm respectively. The belt transmits 1 5

A flat belt drive operates with two pulleys having diameters 315 mm and 630 mm respectively. The belt transmits 15 kW with smaller pulley running at 900 rpm . The center distance is 2000 mm . A leather belt is to be used, of which two types of thickness are available : 4.5 mm and 8 mm and one of them is to be selected. The average coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley is 0.4. The allowable stress in the belt is 2.45 MPa . The density of leather is 1gmcm3. Assuming a service factor of 1.6, specify the thickness and the width of the belt. The belt width is to be taken from the standard series: 90,112,125,140,160,180,200,225,250,280 mm .
