derivation of tension ratio for pulley
derivation of tension ratio for pulley
(OP)
Can anyone please point me to a derivation of the tension ratio:
For belt drives use
T2/T1=e^(mu*beta)
where
T2 = tight side tension = load + T1
T1 = slack side tension
mu = friction coefficient
beta = wrap angle in radians
Thanks
