Length of Belt that Passes over Follower Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Belt Over Follower = pi*Speed of Follower*Diameter of Follower Pulley
L_f = pi*N_f*d₂
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Length of Belt Over Follower - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Belt Over Follower is the measurement or extent of the belt over the follower.
Speed of Follower - (Measured in Hertz) - Speed of Follower typically refers to the rate at which a follower (in a mechanical or motion context) moves or follows the driver.
Diameter of Follower Pulley - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Follower Pulley is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the follower pulley.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Speed of Follower: 26 Revolution per Minute --> 0.433333333333333 Hertz (Check conversion here)
Diameter of Follower Pulley: 0.065 Meter --> 0.065 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_f = pi*N_f*d₂ --> pi*0.433333333333333*0.065

Evaluating ... ...

L_f = 0.0884881930761124

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0884881930761124 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0884881930761124 ≈ 0.088488 Meter <-- Length of Belt Over Follower

(Calculation completed in 00.021 seconds)

Belt drive and follower

belt drive, in machinery, a pair of pulleys attached to usually parallel shafts and connected by an encircling flexible belt (band) that can serve to transmit and modify rotary motion from one shaft to the other. Most belt drives consist of flat leather, rubber, or fabric belts running on cylindrical pulleys or of belts with a V-shaped cross section running on grooved pulleys. To create an effective frictional grip on the pulleys, belts must be installed with a substantial tension. Because of the wedging action of the belts in the grooves, V belts require less tension than do flat belts and are particularly suitable for connecting shafts that are close together.

How to Calculate Length of Belt that Passes over Follower?

Length of Belt that Passes over Follower calculator uses Length of Belt Over Follower = pi*Speed of Follower*Diameter of Follower Pulley to calculate the Length of Belt Over Follower, Length of Belt that Passes over Follower formula is defined as the distance around the circumference of the follower pulley in a belt drive system, which is critical in determining the proper belt length to ensure smooth and efficient power transmission. Length of Belt Over Follower is denoted by L_f symbol.
