Product Description

Belt Drive And Belt Friction

The belt drives are machine elements that are classed as traction mechanisms in the field of transmission or conversion elements. They transfer torque and speed between guiding members such as wheels or pulleys. The motion is transferred by traction mechanisms that can only absorb tensile forces. Toothed belts and chains deliver positive transmission of movements. Traction mechanisms such as cables, flat belts and V-belts, on the contrary, allow for non-positive transmission.

Learning Objectives And Experiments

1. Effect of wrap angle, coefficient of friction and cable force
2. Comparison of flat belts and V-belts
3. Consequences of an unadapted V-belt groove

Features:

1. Function of a belt drive
2. Friction of different belt types on a metal pulley
