We have already discussed that a V-belt is mostly used in factories and workshops where a great amount of power is to be transmitted from one pulley to another when the two pulleys are very near to each other. Let us discuss more details on the V-Belt Drives and Pulleys. The V-belts are made of fabric and […]

Design of Cast Iron Pulley
The pulleys are used to transmit power from one shaft to another by means of flat belts, V-belts, or ropes. Since the velocity ratio is the inverse ratio of the diameters of driving and driven pulleys, the pulley diameters should be carefully selected in order to have the desired velocity ratio. Let us discuss the Design […]
Different Types of Pulleys for Flat Belts
The pulleys are used to transmit power from one shaft to another by means of flat belts, V-belts, or ropes. Since the velocity ratio is the inverse ratio of the diameters of driving and driven pulleys, the pulley diameters should be carefully selected in order to have the desired velocity ratio. Let us discuss Different […]
How to Calculate Power Transmitted by a Belt?
The belts or ropes are used to transmit power from one shaft to another by means of pulleys that rotate at the same speed or at different speeds. The material used for belts and ropes must be strong, flexible, and durable. It must have a high coefficient of friction. Let us see How we can calculate Power […]
Understanding the Basics of Brake System Design
Brake systems play an instrumental role in the safety and performance of any vehicle, underlining the significance of their design and maintenance. A clear comprehension of their basic components – brake pedals, master cylinders, brake lines, and rotors – forms a solid foundation from which to appreciate their functionality. Going beyond this basic knowledge, it […]
