How does the Belt Drive Calculator work?

Calculate: Speed ratio = D_driven / D_driver where D is pulley diameter Then: Torque: T = P / ω (power divided by angular velocity) Then: Tension and slippage determine power capacity.

Can you give an example of how to use the Belt Drive Calculator?

Example: Input Driver 100 mm diameter at 1800 rpm, driven 200 mm gives a result of Output speed = 900 rpm, 2:1 reduction (Torque doubles).

Is the Belt Drive Calculator free to use?

Yes — completely free with no registration, download, or subscription required. All calculations happen instantly in your browser.
