Power Transmitted by Belt Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Power Transmitted = (Tension in Tight Side of Belt-Tension in Slack Side of Belt)*Velocity of Belt
P = (T₁-T₂)*v
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Power Transmitted - (Measured in Watt) - Power Transmitted is the amount of power that is transferred from its place of generation to a location where it is applied to perform useful work.
Tension in Tight Side of Belt - (Measured in Newton) - Tension in Tight Side of Belt is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object.
Tension in Slack Side of Belt - (Measured in Newton) - Tension in Slack Side of Belt is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object.
Velocity of Belt - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of Belt is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Tension in Tight Side of Belt: 22 Newton --> 22 Newton No Conversion Required
Tension in Slack Side of Belt: 11 Newton --> 11 Newton No Conversion Required
Velocity of Belt: 3.450328 Meter per Second --> 3.450328 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P = (T₁-T₂)*v --> (22-11)*3.450328

Evaluating ... ...

P = 37.953608

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

37.953608 Watt -->0.037953608 Kilowatt (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.037953608 ≈ 0.037954 Kilowatt <-- Power Transmitted

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is a belt drive used for?

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.

Why is power transmission needed?

In the case of data transmission the purpose of transmitted power is solely to carry a piece of information from one place to another. The goal of electrical power transfer, however, is transmission and reception of power high enough to enable the operation of other electrical devices.

How to Calculate Power Transmitted by Belt?

Power Transmitted by Belt calculator uses Power Transmitted = (Tension in Tight Side of Belt-Tension in Slack Side of Belt)*Velocity of Belt to calculate the Power Transmitted, Power Transmitted by Belt formula is defined as the rate at which energy is transferred from one pulley to another through a belt drive system, providing a measure of the mechanical power output in a belt-driven machine or mechanism. Power Transmitted is denoted by P symbol.

How to calculate Power Transmitted by Belt using this online calculator?
