    Suggestions from Neighbors...
    1. Alignment of the pulleys/sheaves can cause problems with vibration and belt damage. This should be checked also.
    2. Notched belts are more flexible and are a good addition to a well designed setup.
    Technical notes and corrections...
    Near the end I talk about small pulleys lowering the HP rating of your belt. There are several factors adding to this that I did not mention. The key forces on the belt are on the "tight"side of the belt entering the small pulley (the main issue I am referring to), the bending of the belt around the small sheave over and over, and the centrifugal forces of moving around the sheaves. These items together help determine the rated hp of the belt. The smallest pulley is the guy creating all of the high stresses on the belt. The only conclusion you should draw is a small pulley might reduce the life of your belt.

    I’v been an HVAC mechanic for 29 years and have worked on fan, sheaves and pulleys of all kinds an sizes. I’v worked blower sections as large as a full story of a 40 floor building. I’v worked with mechanical engineers of all levels. My compliments to you my friend you are a great teacher!

      This is totally the opposite of reality. The chart shows how much horse power can be transmitted using a larger diameter pulley due to the ability to grip the belt. Your leverage idea works exactly the opposite of how you explained it. The further from the center of rotation the pressure applied will be less, that is true, but when the distance from the center to the point of resistance is greater, the power that is required to create rotation is greater. Think of it this way. If you had a wrench attached to a shaft, as you illustrated, and you had a certain amount of torque applied to the shaft, would it be easier to prevent rotation by placing your hand on the wrench 4" from shaft center or 18" from center. Obviously 18". This, therefore, means it would require much greater HP to rotate a 36" diameter pulley than an 8" pulley.

    So glad I watched this! I am building an apple scratter and have salvaged a motor from a tumble dryer. I searched on youtube for "Can I use a dimmer to slow down rpm on an electric motor" and I found your video on this which has led me to this goldmine of information and motivation. I subscribed and am finding the whole thing fascinating, I am 60 and loving all this new information. Thank you.

I used to have access to all sizes of motors I changed out, some weren't even damaged or just needed bearings and I gave them away to people I knew in motor rewinding field. I wish I had some of those motors now since watching your videos. Some of the motors were so big it took 2 men to unload but most were 1 to 4 hp. I'm gonna keep my eyes out for some I can strip out of old equipment. Thanks again for your videos

  • @ManicPandaMedia

    Thank you..twenty years I have been having issues with my boat lift pulleys and belts..the pulleys have been scalloping and causing the belts to slip and burn up.. They too used a very large pulley on the bracket of the lift but a super small pulley on the motor side (the one that always scalloped causing the slip and the belt to burn) this video is late. But again I was having issues and figured I'd UA-cam it to see if anyone else was having the same issues. So glad you did this video.. I was afraid of going to a bigger pulley etc..now with the information you provided perfectly, I understand the issue and can correct it this time!! Thank you very much!! Much appreciate this tutorial!!

I took apart the tv...the new tv... it was not appreciated. You, among a few others have helped me understand what to do with the bits’n’pieces after the deconstruction of a particular thingy. So, thanks again for letting me into your shop for a laugh partner. I hope this finds you doing well.

    Minor technical inaccuracy at 5:40: Work = Force x Distance moved. Compared to the shorter wrench, you are using less FORCE with the long wrench, but by moving the handle a greater distance you are doing the same amount of WORK. You are my favorite UA-camr. Keep up the good work (no pun intended)!

    @arthurvandervelde 2 роки тому +7

    Thank you Jeremy. I checked this channel out looking for inspiration. My new ride-on lawnmower was chewing through blade drive belts, which fail to turn the blade, and then overheat by friction and break. The tensioning pulley is inside the belt track and moves outwards to tighten the belt, and in so doing it reduces the lap angle on the driven pulley to 125 degrees. I was stuck on the idea that this was the principal problem. Surprisingly I had Shigleys on my bookshelf but I found no clear indication of minimum lap angle. The realization of the real fault dawned on me after quite some time. As is so often the case, the answer lay not in the highly technical but in the basics. The fact was that the original belts were too long, and while the belt tension appeared to be adequate, in fact the tensioning pulley was at the end of its spring arm travel, and a little warming of the belt was enough to expand a little and allow slip to start. Soon the belt would roast and shred. I fitted a belt just one inch shorter. It increased the tension and the lap angle by 12 degrees. I got my lawn mowed.

      @2pist Рік тому

      I had the same issue. I added a piece of chain from the tensioner arm so I can adapt to different length belts. I went from using 2-3 belts a year to 1 belt lasting 2-3 years.
