α_b = 3.14+2*asin((D-d)/(2*C))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)
asin - The inverse sine function, is a trigonometric function that takes a ratio of two sides of a right triangle and outputs the angle opposite the side with the given ratio., asin(Number)

Variables Used

Wrap Angle on Big Pulley - (Measured in Radian) - Wrap Angle on Big Pulley is the angle that the Belt wraps around the Big Pulley.
Diameter of Big Pulley - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Big Pulley is the distance from side to side of the flat of the Big pulley.
Diameter of Small Pulley - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Small Pulley is the distance from side to side of the flat of the Small pulley.
Centre Distance between Pulleys - (Measured in Meter) - Centre Distance between Pulleys is the distance between the centers of the big pulley and the small pulley.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Diameter of Big Pulley: 810 Millimeter --> 0.81 Meter (Check conversion here)
Diameter of Small Pulley: 270 Millimeter --> 0.27 Meter (Check conversion here)
Centre Distance between Pulleys: 1575 Millimeter --> 1.575 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

α_b = 3.14+2*asin((D-d)/(2*C)) --> 3.14+2*asin((0.81-0.27)/(2*1.575))

Evaluating ... ...

α_b = 3.48455904745604

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.48455904745604 Radian -->199.650526883395 Degree (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

199.650526883395 ≈ 199.6505 Degree <-- Wrap Angle on Big Pulley

Define a Wrap Angle?

The wrap angle is defined as the angle between the run-up and run-off of the belt on the pulley. In addition, the greater curvature causes greater bending stresses in the belt, which also limits the transmittable belt force. So-called idler pulleys can be used to increase the wrap angle.

How to Calculate Wrap Angle for Big Pulley?

Wrap Angle for Big Pulley calculator uses Wrap Angle on Big Pulley = 3.14+2*asin((Diameter of Big Pulley-Diameter of Small Pulley)/(2*Centre Distance between Pulleys)) to calculate the Wrap Angle on Big Pulley, Wrap Angle for Big Pulley formula is defined as a measure of the angle through which a belt wraps around a large pulley, influencing the belt's grip and the efficiency of power transmission in belt drive systems. Wrap Angle on Big Pulley is denoted by α_b symbol.

How to calculate Wrap Angle for Big Pulley using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Wrap Angle for Big Pulley, enter Diameter of Big Pulley (D), Diameter of Small Pulley (d) & Centre Distance between Pulleys (C) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Wrap Angle for Big Pulley calculation can be explained with given input values -> 11439.13 = 3.14+2*asin((0.81-0.27)/(2*1.575)).
