Example.
A squirrel cage type electric motor is used to drive a type of compressor.
alternative. The engine power is 5 HP and the speed on the shaft is 1700 rpm,
If a belt transmission must be used, determine the following: Diameters of
the driver and driven pulleys, Distance between centers, Section and length of the
banda, Numero de bandas, Considere que no hay limitante de espacio y que la velocidad
The driven pulley must be at 450 rpm.
Data.
Squirrel cage motor Calculating
Reciprocating compressor (piston)
F=1.2 (page 34).
np=1700 rpm
ng=450 rpm kW
Dp=?
Dg=?
C=? Select Band Section B.
Section=? Table 5.5 Select intermediate diameter:
L=? Dp=5.4 inches.
Nb=?
The diameter of the driven pulley is obtained.
Dg = Dp*
And the distance between the centers is calculated:
C = Dp + = 5.4 +
Oh C=Dg= 20 inch.. The greatest is chosen.

The linear speed of the belt is calculated:
kW
kW
kW
Interpolating:
The power that can be transmitted by the angle of embrace is corrected:
K' = K * A
The following relationship is used;
And from Table 5.3, A = 0.87 is selected.
K´=2.12*0.87
K'=1.84 kW/Strip.
Finally, a band B81 is chosen from table 5.6.
