What should be paid attention to in the design and installation of driving belt

As a transmission device, Driving Belt is highly favored in the machinery industry, and its efficient power transmission capacity is widely recognized. However, the design and installation of Driving Belt has an important impact on its transmission efficiency and service life.
When designing Driving Belt, first of all, it is necessary to select the appropriate belt type and material according to factors such as transmission power, speed, and transmission mode. Different transmission requirements have different requirements for belt types. You can choose V-belts, multi-V belts, synchronous belts, etc. At the same time, the selection of materials is also crucial. Common Driving Belt materials include rubber, polyurethane, polyester, etc. Reasonable selection of belt type and material can improve the transmission efficiency and service life of Driving Belt.
Belt speed and tension are parameters that need to be focused on during the design and installation of Driving Belt. Belt speed refers to the linear speed of Driving Belt during transmission, while tension refers to the tightness of Driving Belt during transmission. The selection of belt speed and tension should be reasonably calculated based on factors such as transmission power, speed, and transmission distance. Too high belt speed will increase friction loss, while too high tension will increase belt load and wear. Therefore, when designing and installing the Driving Belt, it is necessary to accurately calculate the belt speed and tension to achieve the best transmission efficiency and service life.
The transmission angle and bending radius are also important factors affecting the transmission efficiency and service life of the Driving Belt. The larger the transmission angle, the greater the bending degree of the Driving Belt during the transmission process, and the greater the friction loss. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably select the transmission angle to reduce the friction loss. At the same time, the bending radius of the Driving Belt also needs to be reasonably selected. Too small a bending radius will cause the belt to deform and wear, thereby reducing the transmission efficiency and service life. Therefore, it is necessary to select an appropriate bending radius to ensure the normal operation and transmission efficiency of the Driving Belt.
Correct installation and adjustment of tension are crucial to the transmission efficiency and service life of the Driving Belt. During the installation process, it is necessary to ensure the alignment and parallelism of the Driving Belt and the transmission wheel. Insufficient alignment will cause the Driving Belt to deviate during the transmission process and increase friction loss; while excessive alignment will increase the load and wear of the belt. At the same time, insufficient parallelism will cause the Driving Belt to deflect during the transmission process, affecting the transmission effect. In addition, the adjustment of tension is also very important. Too little tension will cause the belt to loosen and affect the transmission efficiency; while too much tension will cause premature wear of the belt and shorten its service life. Therefore, when installing and adjusting the tension, it is necessary to select the appropriate tension according to the actual situation to ensure the normal operation and transmission efficiency of the Driving Belt.
