PART-A

1. A longer belt will last more than a shorter belt, why?

2. What is centrifugal effect on belt?
3. Mention the losses in the belt drives.
4. What is meant by the ply of belt?
5. How is V belt specified?
PART-B
1. Design a V-belt drive to the following specifications: power to be
transmitted: 75Kw; speed of driving Wheel: 1440 rpm; speed of driven
wheel: 400 rpm; diameter of driving wheel: 300 mm: centre distance:
2500mm: service: 16 hours/day.

2. It is required to select a flat belt drive for a fan running at 360rpm.which is

driven by a 10kw, 1440rpm motor. The belt drive is open type and space
available for a center distance of 2m approximately. The diameter of a
driven pulley is 1000mm.
