How to fill it
Fill the inputs. The tool shows the outputs.
On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.
Formula
v = π D fInputs
| Name | Unit |
|---|---|
| Pulley diameter | mm |
| Rotational speed | rpm |
Outputs
| Name | Unit |
|---|---|
| Belt speed (hero result) | m/s |
Diagnose
Observations are context. They do not pass or fail a structure. See Diagnose.
| When | Observation | Severity |
|---|---|---|
frequency hz < 10 | Very low rotational speed | caution |
frequency hz > 20000 | Very high rotational speed | caution |
Assumptions
- No belt slip. Diameter is the effective pitch diameter.
Provenance
- v = πDN/60 with N in rpm is the same as v = π D f in SI.
