    Assignment 5

    Design of Drives: Belt Drives, Chain Drives


    Q1 Compare Belt Drives with Gear Drives.

    Q2 What are the advantages, disadvantages of ribbed V-belts? Also write applications of it.

    Q3 It is required to select a flat belt drive for a compressor running at 720 rpm, which is
    driven by a 25 kW, 1440 rpm motor. Space is available for a centre distance of 3 m. The
    belt is open-type.

    Q4 It is required to select a flat-belt drive for a fan running at 360 rpm which is driven by a
    10 kW, 1440 rpm motor. The belt drive is open-type and space is available for a centre
    distance of 2 m approximately. The belt velocity should be between 17.8 to 22.9 m/s.
    The power transmitting capacity of the belt per mm width per ply at 180° arc of contact
    and at a belt velocity of 5.08 m/s is 0.0118 kW. The load correction factor can be taken
    as 1.2.
    Suggest preferred diameters for motor and fan pulleys and give complete specifications
    of belting.

    Q5 The following data is given for an open-type V-belt drive:


    diameter of driving pulley = 150 mm
    diameter of driven pulley = 300 mm
    centre distance = 1 m
    groove angle = 40°
    mass of belt = 0.25 kg/m
    maximum permissible tension = 750 N
    coefficient of friction = 0.2
    Plot a graph of maximum tension and power transmitted against the belt velocity.
    Calculate the maximum power transmitted by the belt and the corresponding belt
    velocity. Neglect power losses.

    Q6 The following data is given for an open-type V-belt drive:
    diameter of driving pulley = 200 mm
    diameter of driven pulley = 600 mm
    groove angle for sheaves = 34°
    mass of belt = 0.5 kg/m
    maximum permissible tension in belt = 500 N
    coefficient of friction = 0.2
    contact angle for smaller pulley = 157°
    speed of smaller pulley = 1440 rpm
    power to be transmitted = 10 kW
    How many V-belts should be used, assuming each belt takes its proportional part of the
    load?

    Q7 It is required to select a V-belt drive from 5 kW normal torque motor, which runs at 1440
    rpm to a light duty compressor running at 970 rpm. The compressor runs for 24 hours per
    day. Space is available for a centre distance of about 500 mm. Assume that the pitch
    diameter of the driving pulley is 150 mm.

    Q8 What are the advantages, disadvantages of Chain Drives? Also write applications of it.

    Q9 What is the polygonal action in roller chain? How will you reduce it?
