About This Product
Students fit one of the three belts, set the initial tension by sliding the driven pulley on its bearing block, and then load the brake drum while the two channel RPM indicator reads both pulley speeds. These readings give the coefficient of friction between pulley and belt materials, the tension characteristics (T1 – T2) and the slip characteristics, from which the creep zone is found. For colleges equipping a THEORY OF MACHINE LAB with engineering educational equipments in India, the rig also measures belt slip speed and its limiting value when slip just starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Which belt materials can be tested?
Three flat belts of fixed length are supplied: fabric, canvas and rubber. The coefficient of friction between the pulley material and each belt material can be measured.
Q2. How is the initial belt tension changed?
The driven pulley slides on the base with its bearing block, which changes the initial tension in the belt. A belt tightening arrangement is also provided.
Q3. Which graphs can students plot?
Tension characteristics, from (T1 – T2) and power transmitted at varied belt tensions, and slip characteristics, from (T1-T2) against percentage slip, which also locates the creep zone.
