V-Belt Design Example
Given: 4 cylinder Diesel runs @ 80hp, 1800 rpm to
drive a water pump (1200 rpm) for less than 6
hr./day
Find: Design V-belt drive
V-belt Design Example Cont
1.) Calculate design power:
Use table 7-1(<6h/day, pump, 4 cyl. Engine)
Design Power = input power x service factor
= 80 hp x 1.1
= 88 hp
V-belt Design Example Cont
2.) Select belt type, Use table 7-9
Design Power = 88 hp
Speed = 1800 rpm
Choose 5V

3.) Calculate speed ratio
SR = w

6.) Find rated power (use figure 7-11 again)
Rated Power = 21 hp

Adjust for speed ratio to get total power/belt
Total power = 21hp +1.55hp = 21.55hp
