How to Calculate Length of Open Belt Drive?
Length of Open Belt Drive calculator uses Total Length of Belt = pi*(Radii of Smaller Pulley+Radii of Larger Pulley)+2*Distance Between Centers of Two Pulleys+((Radii of Larger Pulley-Radii of Smaller Pulley)^2)/Distance Between Centers of Two Pulleys to calculate the Total Length of Belt, Length of Open Belt Drive is based on two factors: the center-to-center distance between pulleys and the arc of contact between the belt and the pulleys, which depends on the relative pulley diameters. Total Length of Belt is denoted by Lbelt symbol.
