Compound Belt drive total torque
Compound Belt drive total torque
(OP)
Hi,
I was just wondering, what would be total toque of compound belt drive - having 3 shafts. As shown in the attached screenshot, middle shaft drives one shaft on either side.
would total torque needed by motor will be the sum of total toque of each shaft? Each shaft rotates at same RPM & same size pullies.
thanks,

But that is the wrong way to look at the problem.
Conservation of power --> Power in = power out. Rotational speed * torque at input = that at output (minus friction).
-OR/ALSO-
T = F * r
Torque = force * radius
Since tension is same for driver and driven pulley, TArA = TBrB for A/B side.
repeat for B/C side.
