Synchronous belts were invented in the 1940s to synchronize shafts on sewing machines. They have since been widely adopted due to advantages over other transmission methods like gears, chains, and V-belts. Synchronous belts engage teeth in a smooth, rolling motion for precise synchronization without slippage. Modern belts use high-strength fiberglass or aramid cords and molded rubber teeth for durability and power transmission in a variety of industrial applications.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
2. Introduction to Synchronous Belts
Timing belts were invented
in the late 1940’s by Richard
Y. Case, an engineer with
the former L.H. Gilmer
company, which was
eventually absorbed into
Uniroyal Inc. The sewing
machine provided the
impetus for the development
of a belt capable of
synchronizing two or more
shafts.
3. Introduction to Synchronous Belts
Applications required a very high modulus (no
stretch) tensile member to prevent distortion of
the pitch (the distance between the teeth) as it
rotated around the sprockets. Steel wire was
first used as a tensile member until later being
replaced by fiberglass and aramid fiber cords.
4. Introduction to Synchronous Belts
Synchronous drives represent
a modern and efficient system
of power transmission. They
essentially combine the
advantages of mechanical
components (gears & chain)
and flexible components
(flat & V-belts) while
eliminating the inherent
disadvantages of these
components.
5. Basic Design Principles
Synchronous belts operate on a basic principle:
molded teeth of the belt and mating grooves of the
pulley make positive engagement. The teeth enter
and leave the pulley in a smooth rolling manner with
low friction. This positive engagement results in:
• Exact shaft synchronization
• Elimination of slippage and speed loss common to
v-belts.
• Synchronous operation at speeds higher than most
chain drives.
6. Basic Design Principles
All synchronous belts operate on the positive
engagement principle. Chains operate on the
same principle but synchronous belts have many
superior characteristics. Synchronous belts wrap
around the pulley by means of flexion and not by
rotation of articulated parts (as chains do). This
eliminates one of the causes of wear and noise.
7. Basic Design Principles
To maintain the correct tooth
pitch as the belt flexes around
the pulley, the belt pitch line
(tensile cord) must coincide
with the pitch diameter of the
pulley. The difference between
pulley O.D. and pulley pitch
diameter is referred to as Pitch
Line Differential (PLD). For
proper tooth meshing the PLD
of the belt must match the PLD
of the pulley.
8. When to Use a Synchronous Belt Drive
• Synchronous transmission between shafts is a must
• High mechanical drive efficiency and energy savings required
• Precise relative positioning of shafts (non-slip and minimal
backlash)
• Compact drive layout is necessary
• Low maintenance is required
• Combines power transmission and conveying needs
• Low noise requirements (compared to chain)
• Environmental or contamination concerns (no lubrication
required)
• High torque, low RPM requirements
9. Synchronous Belt Advantages
vs. chain
• Increased service life for belts and sprockets
• No need for lubrication
- Improper lubrication of chain drives severely reduces life
- Lubrication attracts dirt and leads to wear
• Reduction in noise over chain (& polyurethane drives)
• Environmentally cleaner – no grease or oil
• Increased productivity — less down time
(vs. chain and v-belts)
• Increased efficiency and registration accuracy
10. Synchronous Belt Advantages
vs. chain
• Chain is heavier than belt systems
• Limited take-up or inaccessible drives - with synchronous
belts, the required take-up allowances for tensioning are
significantly less (v-belts and chain).
• No Hidden Costs — chain cost of lubrication, disposal cost of
lubrication, reservoirs
• Chain available only in full box lengths
- (Typically 10 ft. in box)
11. Synchronous Belt Disadvantages
vs. chain
•Less initial cost (although synchronous payback is rapid
due to reduced maintenance)
•Design Flexibility — larger availability of ratios and
lengths
•Less sensitivity to improper installation —
alignment and tensioning
12. tooth facing
teeth
tensile cords
rubber backing
The main components of a synchronous belt are the
tensile cords, the teeth, rubber backing and tooth
facing.
Belt Construction
13. Steel was originally used as a tensile cord material. Most belts
today use high modulus (low-stretch) fiberglass or aramid fiber as
the tensile member. (Kevlar is the Dupont trademark for an aramid
fiber). Tensile cord is the load bearing element of the synchronous
belt.
The belt teeth are molded of a hard rubber compound jacketed with
a tough, abrasion resistant nylon tooth facing. The compressive
and shear strength of the teeth exceeds that of the tensile cords
when there are at least six teeth in mesh with the driver pulley.
Teeth in mesh is a critical design factor.
A durable rubber backing encases the load bearing tensile cord. It
protects the cords from dirt, oil and other contaminants, as well as
frictional wear when a backside idler is used.
Belt Construction
14. Belt Construction
“S” & “Z” Twist
" Z" twist
"S" twist
To reduce lateral movement, synchronous belts are constructed by
alternately spiraling “S” and “Z” type cords. The synchronous belt cord
is made up of a number of small fiber strands twisted together. These
strands can be twisted either clockwise or counterclockwise. The two
twist directions are referred to as “S” twist and “Z” twist.
15. Belt Construction
“S” & “Z” Twist
Most synchronous belts are made with both “S” and “Z” twist
cord to minimize belt tracking forces on the pulley flanges.

16. Belt Construction
“Z” Twist
When necessary, the lateral movement of a belt can be pre-determined, if
the direction of rotation is constant (non-reversing drives).
A good example of this is Fin-Fan Drives. Because the fin-fan drive has a
vertical shaft, the belt is built with Z twist construction only. This gives the
belt an upward direction of lateral movement. This helps keep the belt off
of the bottom flanges and reduces excessive side belt wear. Carlisle offers
a special construction “Z” twist construction for Fin-Fan air-cooled heat
exchanger drives.

17. Synchronous Drive Terms
Unlike the V-belt drive, the synchronous belt drive is not a friction
device. It is a positive engagement drive that is dependent upon
the meshing of the belt teeth with the pulley grooves.
The tooth profile indicates the type or shape of the belt teeth.
The spacing between two adjacent teeth on the belt (and pulley) is
referred to as the tooth pitch. The distance is measured from the
center of one tooth to the center of the next.
In synchronous belts, the belt length is determined by multiplying the
belt pitch by the number of teeth in the belt. This is known as pitch
length.
In synchronous drive systems, backlash is the necessary clearance
between belt teeth and pulley grooves for proper meshing.
18. Synchronous Drive Terms
The pitch diameter of the pulley or
(sprocket) refers to the diameter
determined by the tensile cord location
in the belt. Therefore, the pitch
diameter of the pulley will be
somewhat greater than the outside
diameter of the pulley across the teeth.
To maintain the correct tooth pitch as
the belt flexes around the pulley, the
belt pitch line (center of the tensile
cord) must coincide with the pitch
diameter of the pulley. The difference
between pulley O.D. and pulley pitch
diameter is referred to as pitch line
differential (PLD).
19. Synchronous Drive Terms
Tooth pitch is one indication of overall belt size. The larger the
pitch, the larger the teeth and tensile cord. The larger and stronger
the belt, the more horsepower it can transmit.
In conventional trapezoidal tooth profile belts, letters indicate
pitch, (MXL, XL, L, H, etc.) which are measured in inches.
In curvilinear tooth profile belts, pitch is measured in millimeters
(3M, 5M, 8M, etc).
The terms synchronous belt and timing belt are used
interchangeably.
Sprocket and pulley are also used interchangeably.
20. There are two types of synchronous belt tooth profiles that make up
the majority of synchronous drives in use today.
• Trapezoidal tooth profile — (original technology) refers to the
tooth configuration of MXL, XL, L, H, XH AND XXH type belts.
• Curvilinear tooth profiles — have rounded tooth profiles that
eliminate stress concentrations at the base of the tooth and allow
more uniform stress distribution. Curvilinear profiles transmit high
torque and represent the latest evolution of synchronous belt
technology. Available in 3M, 5M, 8M, 14M, and 20M pitch.

Carlisle Tooth Profile Evolution
Curvilinear (RPP Profile)
Original synchronous
belt tooth profile
Modern tooth profile
A trapezoidal belt
tooth has a constant
angle of pressure.
The profile of
curvilinear teeth has
an angle that increases
from the base, to the
top of the tooth and
allows for more
uniform stress
distribution resulting in
higher torque
transmission with
reduced occurrence of
tooth jump.

42. Introducing the New RPP Panther®
The Panther Rules!
The new RPP Panther
with ULTRA-CORD and
Able compound provides
fierce, unequaled
strength, efficiency and
durability.
43. New RPP Panther with “Able” Compound
The “Able” Advantage
Reduces Tooth Shear
The new “Able” compound is
reformulated for increased
performance. This advanced
polymer provides increased
resistance to tooth shear and
tooth jump.
44. New RPP Panther with “Able” Compound
The “Able” Advantage
Better Adhesion
“Able” adheres to the belt cords and
nylon tooth facing better than the old
Panther compound. This allows for
reduced tooth deflection and improves
belt life.
45. New RPP Panther with “Able” Compound
The “Able” Advantage
More Robust
The “Able” compound
is a robust material
that improves product
consistency.
46. New RPP Panther with ULTRA-CORD!
The ULTRA-CORD Advantage
Reduced Tension Decay
Holds drive tension better
than belts using aramid
fiber cords thus providing
dimensional stability for the
life of the drive.
47. New RPP Panther with ULTRA-CORD!
The ULTRA-CORD Advantage
Lower Installation Tensions
With ULTRA-CORD, there is no need to
“over-compensate” for aramid tension
decay. Lower tensions put less strain
on drive components such as bearings
and shafts.
48. New RPP Panther with ULTRA-CORD!
The ULTRA-CORD Advantage
Doesn’t Absorb Moisture
The use of ULTRA-CORD eliminates the need
for special handling such as plastic bags and
desiccants used with aramid belts to prevent
shrinkage from moisture absorption.
49. Improved Flex Life
Aramid tensile strength
degrades over time with
repeated flexing.
ULTRA-CORD resists tensile
degradation & dramatically
improves belt life and
shock load resistance.

50. New RPP Panther with ULTRA-CORD!
The ULTRA-CORD Advantage
Improved HP Ratings
The new RPP Panther
construction permits
increased drive horsepower
ratings as much as 20%
over the previous Panther.
51. The New RPP Panther…
Some things didn’t need to be improved…
SAME Great RPP Tooth Profile
The new RPP Panther still
utilizes the same RPP tooth
profile for reduced noise
levels, resistance to tooth
jumping, and improved
meshing with either RPP or
HTD sprockets!
52. The New RPP Panther…
Some things didn’t need to be improved...
SAME High Quality Fabric Facing
The New RPP Panther still
utilizes the same graphite-
loaded, self-lubricating nylon
fabric facing for exceptional
wear resistance, low
coefficient of friction, and
superior drive efficiency.
53. The New RPP Panther…
Some things didn’t need to be improved…
SAME Industry Standard Sprockets
The New RPP Panther still
operates with the same
readily available, industry
standardized RPP Panther
sprocket systems.
54. The New RPP Panther…
Some things didn’t need to be improved…
Still Works on Backside Idlers
The new RPP Panther is still the
best choice (and sometimes
your only choice) for high
torque drive systems that
require backside idlers.

59. Panther Advantages
over Poly-Chain
• Poly-Chain has a ribbed belt backing that does
not work well with backside idlers.
• Poly-Chain is made of polyurethane and has a
lower maximum operating temperature (185° F).
• Panther belts (rubber) have lower noise
characteristics than (polyurethane) Poly-Chain
belts.

61. Energy Efficiency
• One third of the electric motors in the industrial and
commercial sectors use belt drives
• Certain types of belts are more efficient than others,
offering energy cost savings
• V-belts can have a peak efficiency of 95% to 98% at the
time of installation but deteriorates by as much as 5% over
time
• Synchronous belts offer an efficiency of about 98% and
maintain that efficiency
• V-belts have a sharp reduction in efficiency at high
torque due to slippage
62. Selling Energy Efficiency
• Conduct a survey of belt driven equipment in a plant or
facility. Gather application and operating hour data.
Then, determine the cost effectiveness of replacing existing
v-belts with a synchronous system.
• Replace wrapped v-belts with Gold Ribbon Cog Belts
where the retrofit of a synchronous belt drive is not cost
effective.
• Consider synchronous belts for all new installations
because the payback overcomes the price premium over
v-belt drives.
