UNIT : 1 . Design of Flexible Machine Elements
Designof Belt Drives:
Law of Belting:
Law of belting states that the centre line of the belt, as it approaches the pulley, must lie in a plane
perpendicular to the axis of that pulley or must lie in the plane of the pulley, otherwise the belt will
run off the pulley.
Geometrical Relationship
For open belt drive:
D and d = Diameters of the larger and smaller pulleys respectively
C = Center distance between the two pulley in meters,
L = Total length of the belt in meters
Wrap angle for Larger pulley (αL) = (180 + 2α)
Wrap angle for Smaller Pulley (αS) = (180 − 2α)
Sin α =
𝐷−𝑑

For Cross belt drive:
Sin α =
𝐷+𝑑
2𝐶
; (αL) =(αS) = (180 + 2α)
Power Transmitted by Belt
P = ( 𝑇1 − 𝑇2). 𝑉 v =

Tensions on belt drive
T1 & T2 = Tight side and Slack Side tensions respectively
Tc = Centrifugal tension = m.𝑣2
; m= Mass per unit length of the belt in kg/m.
v = Linear velocity of belt in m/sec.
Initial Tension (T0) =
( 𝑇1 + 𝑇2)
2
(without considering centrifugal tension)
=
( 𝑇1 +𝑇2+ 2𝑇 𝐶)
2
(With considering centrifugal tension)

*Note
1. Maximum tension (T) to which belt is subjected to centrifugal tension ,
T = 𝑇1 + 𝑇𝐶
Maximum Tension (T) = Maximum stress (σ) × Cross sectional area of belt.
= σ × b.t b = Width of the belt
𝑡 = Thickness of the belt
2. If centrifugal tension is considered
Total tension on tight side = Tt1 = 𝑇1 + 𝑇𝐶
Total tension on slack side = Tt2 = 𝑇2 + 𝑇𝐶
3. Effect of power transmitted on centrifugal tension
P = ( 𝑇𝑡1 − 𝑇𝑡2) × v
= [( 𝑇1 + 𝑇𝐶 ) − ( 𝑇2 + 𝑇𝐶)]× v
P = ( 𝑇1 − 𝑇2). 𝑉
So, There is no effect on centrifugal tension on the power transmitted.
4. For a belt speed upto 10 m/sec the centrifugal tension is negligible But for belt speed
more than 10m/sec, centrifugal tension should be considered.
5. Ratio of belt tension for the open belt drive
𝑻 𝟏
𝑻 𝟐
= 𝑒 𝜇𝛼
(without centrifugal tension) α = Angle of wrap or Angle of contact
𝑻 𝟏− 𝑻 𝑪
𝑻 𝟐− 𝑻 𝑪
= 𝑒 𝜇𝛼
(with centrifugal tension)
Ratio of tension for ‘V’ belt drive
𝑻 𝟏
𝑻 𝟐
= 𝑒 𝜇𝛼/𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛽 (without centrifugal tension) α = Angle of wrap or Angle of
contact
2𝛽 = V –groove angle
𝑻 𝟏− 𝑻 𝑪
𝑻 𝟐− 𝑻 𝑪
= 𝑒 𝜇𝛼/𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛽
(with centrifugal tension)
6. Condition for transmission of maximum power
The power transmitted is maximum when the Tc is one third of the maximum belt
tension (T)
T = 3Tc
Maximum velocity Vmax = √
𝑇
3𝑚

7. For most efficient power transmission for belt, the belt speed is 17.5 to 22.5 m/sec.
8. Permissible Stresses for belt material
Leather belt= 2 to 3.45 Mpa
Rubber belt = 1 to 1.7 Mpa
Fabric belt = less than 1.5 Mpa

Law of Gearing
The law of gearing states the condition which must be fulfilled by the gear tooth profile to maintain
a constant angular velocity ratio between two gears. This is the fundamental condition which must
be satisfied while designing the profile of the gear wheel.
Standard System of Gear Tooth
The American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) and the American National Standard
Institute (ANSI) standardized the following four forms of gear teeth depending upon the pressure
angle.
1. 14.50 composite system
2. 14.50 full depth involute system
3. 200 full depth involute system
4. 200 stub involute system

Force Analysis of Spur Gear
Assumption Made in Force Analysis of Spur Gear
 Friction losses in the bearing and gears are negligible
 The gears mesh at the pitch circle
 The gear teeth have standard involute tooth profiles
 The shafts for pinion and gear are parallel
 The effect of the dynamic forces is neglected.
 As the point of constant moves, the magnitude of resultant force F changes. This effect is
neglected.
Formulae for Force Analysis of Spur gears
P = Power transmitted by gears
Mt = Torque transmitted by gears in N-mm

Tooth Proportions for Helical Gears
There are no standard proportions for helical gears. The proportions recommended by American
Gear Manufacturer’s Association (AGMA) are as follows
 Normal Pressure angle (𝛼n) = 150 to 250
 Helix angle (β) = 80 to 250, for helical
o = 250 to 400, for herringbone
 Addendum , maximum = 0.8 mn
 Dedendum , maximum = mn
 Tooth depth = 2.25 mn
 Minimum Clearance = 0.2 mn
 Thickness of tooth = 1.5708 mn

gears is concentrated at the midpoint along the face width of the tooth. The forces acting at the
centre of the tooth
The component of the resultant force is:
