a) No
joints, made endless, smooth drive, noiseless transmission of power.
b)
Positive drive as slip is negligible.
When
the belt is wound around the two pulleys ( driver and driven ) it’s two ends
are joined together so that the belt may
continuously move over the pulleys. The motion of the belt from the driver
& the follower is governed by a firm grip, due to friction between belt and
pulleys. In order to increase this grip the belt is tightened up. At this stage
even when the pulleys are stationary the belt is subjected to the tension that
is initial tension.
13.0 Questions:
1. Whenever the power is to be transmitted between two centers within the range of 8 to 10
meters belt drives are used. Gear drives are used when distance between driver
& driven is short.
2. Slip : Sometimes the frictional grip becomes
insufficient. This may cause some forward
motion of the driver without carrying belt with it. This may also cause
some forward motion of belt without carrying the driven pulley with
it. This is called slip.
3. Idler pulley : A belt with an idler pulley is used with shafts arranged parallel and when an open belt drive cannot be used due to small angle of contact on the smaller pulley. This type of drive is provided to obtain high velocity ratio and when the required belt tension cannot be obtained by other means. When it is desired to transmit motion from one shaft to several shafts, all arranged Parallel, a belt drive with many idler pulleys may be employed.

5.
Flat belts are recommended when the distance between the shafts is max. 8
m. and min. should not be less than 3.5
times the diameter of larger pulley. And speed up to 22 m /s.
6.
V belts are used when two pulleys are very near to
each other. Used where need of
increased frictional grip is necessary, which reduces tendency of slipping. Operation of belt
and pulley is required to be quiet , where high velocity ratio is required.
7. The open belt drive is used with shafts arranged parallel and rotating in same direction
8. The crossed belt drive is used with shafts arranged parallel and rotating in opposite direction.
9. Flat belt drives running over cylindrical pulleys quickly wander off the pulleys. To prevent this the pulley is crowned, machined to slightly spindle shaped profile. When flat belt on such a pulley is off center and the pulley rotating, the belt quickly moves up to the largest radius and stays there. The crown is important to keep the belt tracking stable, preventing the belt from walking off the edge of the pulley.

10. Fast and loose pulley: Fast and loose
pulley drive is used when the driven or machine shaft is to be started or
stopped whenever desired without interfering with the driving shaft. A pulley which
is keyed to the machine shaft is called as fast pulley. A loose pulley runs
freely over the machine shaft and incapable of transmitting any power. When the
driven shaft is required to be stopped, the belt is pushed on to the loose
pulley by means of sliding bar having belt forks.
11. A stepped or cone pulley is used for
changing the speed of the driven shaft while the main or driving shaft runs at
constant speed. This is accomplished by shifting the belt from one part of the
steps to the other.
12. a) Compactness due to small distance between
the centers. b) Positive drive as slip is
negligible. c) Operation of belt and
pulley is quiet. d) V belts may be used in either
directions.
e) High velocity ratio may be obtained. f) Frictional grip is more. g)
Walking off
of the belt is avoided.
13. Velocity ratio is reduced due to slip
of the belt and power transmitted is less.
14. Flour mills factories and workshops
are the places where flat belt are used.
15. Power transmission in motor cars and
in lorries.
16. The motion of the belt from the
driver and follower is governed by a firm grip, due to friction between belt
and pulley. In order to increase this grip, the belt is tightened up. At this
stage, even when the pulleys are stationary the belt is subjected to some
tension, called initial tension.
