How to Calculate Tension on Loose Side of Band?
Tension on Loose Side of Band calculator uses Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake = Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake/e^((Coefficient of Friction For Band Brake)*Angle of Wrap of Band) to calculate the Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake, Tension on Loose Side of Band in a belt drive system refers to the force exerted on the side of the belt that is not being pulled tightly by the driving pulley. This tension is typically lower than the tension on the tight side and is crucial for calculating the power transmission capacity and ensuring proper operation of the belt drive. Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake is denoted by P2 symbol.
How to calculate Tension on Loose Side of Band using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Tension on Loose Side of Band, enter Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake (P1), Coefficient of Friction For Band Brake (μb) & Angle of Wrap of Band (α) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Tension on Loose Side of Band calculation can be explained with given input values -> 5255.369 = 15000/e^((0.46)*2.28).
