Calculating Initial Tension Requirements for Vee Belts

engineers.acad...
In this video, you will learn how to calculate the initial tension requirements for a belt driving a pulley, in order to achieve a desired power output. The maximum power is transmitted at the point where the belt is likely to slip on the pulley, so a greater initial tension leads to a greater power output.

What is 𝛽 ?

[@AeroCraftAviation]

I am wondering the same thing.

[@ashishsharma-uy8co]

That is angle of v belt as this belt has groov

Please check value substitution @2:22, value conversation from rpm to rps is wrong.

And in the real world?.
