Steady guide-friction screen

Belt axis force / speed

Inputs

Declared total translated load, including the relevant belt mass where applicable.
User-entered guide friction coefficient from 0 through 1; it is not selected by this workspace.
Declared effective drive-pulley diameter; belt tooth engagement and bend limits are excluded.
Steady requested belt speed used only for pulley rpm and mechanical-power arithmetic.
User-entered transmission efficiency; this workspace does not select or validate it.

Method

Formula, when it applies, and when it does not

Calculate steady guide-friction force, drive-pulley speed, declared-efficiency torque, and mechanical power for one horizontal belt-driven axis.

Fa = mgμ; np = 60v/(πdp); T = Fadp/(2η); P = Fav

When

  • Horizontal axis
  • Steady speed
  • Declared guide friction
  • User-entered efficiency

Don’t

  • This is a horizontal, steady-speed belt-axis screen using user-entered guide friction and efficiency. It excludes acceleration, belt stretch and tension, tooth engagement, pulley/belt selection, external process load, vertical/gravity axes, inertia, positioning accuracy, rail load, thermal/duty limits, motor or gearbox selection, controls, safety, and system approval.
